Set email as an alias for username in Cognito is disabled in the GUI

I want to set email as an alias for username for a user pool in Cognito. I found out that this was possible from the Cognito docs:

https://docs.aws.amazon.com/cognito/latest/developerguide/user-pool-settings-attributes.html#user-pool-settings-aliases-settings-option-1

I can see the option in the GUI under general settings > attributes

AWS Cognito GUI

But the interface is disabled. I am admin and AmazonCognitoPowerUser in aws.

How can I add email as an alias for username?

Once the user pool has been created, AWS does not allow you to change this setting. You would have to create a new user pool and deal with migrating any existing users over. Yes, it is very annoying.
