Missing gradient options

Hi!

I feel like I'm going insane, because I DID use the option just yesterday, but today the panel seems to have disappeared. I want to "apply gradient across stroke" like seen in the screenshot from a YTvideo below.

However, this is all I can see: The options to apply the gradient differently are gone. As I managed to use the option yesterday just via this very gradient panel I wonder what I might be missing.

I already reset the caches, rebuilt the caches, reinstalled Indesign to no avail.

It's an easy mistake to make. Illustrator and InDesign have a very similar interface.

Kind of doable - but only for straight lines - and the angle will automatically "update" when line is rotated:

And after few clicks:

Sorry, forgot to include screenshot how I've done it.

Pretty much - like on the screenshot from Illustrator - centerpoint and then stops close to it - very close.

Then, initially, line need to be at an angle - like 35 degree - and you need to play with an Angle in the gradient definition. Gradient will be extremely condensed if you do it on a horizontal / vertical line.

After applying gradient to the line - you can freely rotate it.
