How to Create a Gradient with Transparency in Adobe InDesign

How do I make one end of a gradient transparent?

As in, so that one end of it is fading away, as opposed to turning into 'Paper'/ white (which seems to be the case with Gradient Feather tool).
When I try using Gradient the way I do in Illustrator (set both colour stops to same colour, with one stop at 0% opacity) it doesn't work as there isn't a way to adjust colour stop's opacity in InDesingn (or I'm totally missing it!)


please help 😞

Thanks for picking my query up @Robert at ID-Tasker 
Graient Feather tool is not doing it for me - this is the problem.

Try dragging the gradient feater tool over your gadient object...
