Can you change either dial on the R8 to ISO?

I remember this being a huge frustration with the RP and since it uses the same body I figure they haven't updated it. Setting ISO control to a button or the control ring doesn't work for my workflow before anyone suggests it either, and it's why I sold the RP.

I think it is possible https://cam.start.canon/en/C013/manual/html/UG-09_Custom_0030.html

On the RP only the control ring on a RF lens could be assigned.

Also, of late I have adapted to Fv mode so that also helps moving between different bodies.

The Quick Control Dial can be set to control ISO. You can use Fv mode to set ISO (or other exposure settings) on demand.
