"Use email attribute from Contacts" - Can't choose non-system email

Question

Hi all,

I have a Data Extension with an EmailAddress field connected directly to Contacts via an Attribute Group.

This is the main way I am inserting email addresses into SFMC. I do not currently have a way to update the system email address on the contact.

In the Journey Builder settings, it only allows me to choose the system email address

What am I missing here? Why can I not select the EmailAddress connected to the contact via a data extension?

if you are sending to new contacts, why are you not using "Use email attribute form Entry Source"?
