Why does the Temp in the Basic panel show a 0~100± slider instead of Kelvin values?

I am using Lightroom Classic CC 7.5 and I have process Version 4 selected.

Why does the Temp in the Basic panel show a 0~100± slider instead of Kelvin values?

I am hoping this is a setting but I have not found one.

Thanks!

    Kelvin values are usually available for raw files. For jpegs the white balance is already “baked-in” so only relative adjustments are available.

    To put it simply. You are working on a JPG file.

      Hi there,

      Temperature in Kelvin only appears on RAW images. It does not appear for Jpeg files. Could you please let us know what image format you're working with?

        They were jpeg. I changed it a week ago for some simple auction pictures.

        I already switched it back raw where it will stay.
