Upgrade E86.50 Block Bitlocker Encryption Question

Hello,

we are planning our upgrade to version E86.50.
According to the new features, the "Block Bitlocker Encryption" setting is now on by default.
However, since we use Bitlocker in the company and also encrypt hard disks during operation, does this feature have to be deactivated according to my understanding?

Unfortunately I can't find any setting called "Block Bitlocker Enryption" in the Anti-Ransomware policy.
Am I missing something?

Problem was solved via TAC.

Return Message: 
Thank you for contacting Check Point support.
My name is Amir and this service request was assigned to my care.
This sk179594, is referring to Cloud management servers, and machines with EPS client E86.50 already installed.
This checkbox was not yet developed for the On-Premise servers.
As a workaround, exclude by protection "ransomware.win.bitlockerransom.b" in the Anti-Ransomware policy - see attached screenshot.
*Remove the exclusion after BitLocker will finish encryption.

This feature appears to only be relevant if you enable Bitlocker encryption AFTER installing E86.50.
At least, that's how I read this: https://supportcenter.checkpoint.com/supportcenter/portal?eventSubmit_doGoviewsolutiondetails=&solut... 
In any case, the SK explains how to turn this feature off.

That is very strange. This setting is not visible to me. Is this visible to you?
