Stop Eclipse from autocompleting variable names on declaration

Edit: I am a dumbass who repeatedly went into CA for JavaScript instead of Java. This is what happens when you blindly use the search box, folks.

I know this question has been asked and answered here before, but there's a problem. The solution just isn't there anymore.

I have the exact same problem as this good fella. I saw the answers, they say it's been patched in the 2018-12 release, which I assume is about 18 months old (I've only recently started using eclipse). I'm on the 2020-03 release and, as I said, the Disable insertion triggers except 'Enter' just isn't there anymore. See below:

Eclipse Preferences->Editor->Content Assist Window in 2020-03 release:

Eclipse Preferences->Editor->Content Assist Window in 2020-03 release

I tried looking for it elsewhere in Preferences but I can't find it. When I try to google it all that comes is this same solution, and nothing useful comes up if I filter the searches for time. Does someone know where this option went or if there is another way I can fix this? It's driving me nuts.

Your screenshot shows the JavaScript, not the Java content assist preference page where this setting has never existed:

Window (macOS: Eclipse) > Prefences: JavaScript > Editor > Content Assist

The Java content assist setting described in the mentioned answer can still be found at the same place:

Window (macOS: Eclipse) > Prefences: Java > Editor > Content Assist
