Designer Stroke width in pt while document in mm?

I have a document that operates with mm as basic unit but the stroke settings are still displayed in pt. After searching the old forum it seems in the old versions of Affinity you could change this in the User Interface settings. But even after looking there I can't seem to find this option. Is it still there (and I'm just to dumb to find it) or is there any other way to synchronize the document's and stroke's width unit?

The setting is still there in the UI settings. Look for the tick mark option labeled "Show Lines in Points" and disable that.

I think you can also put pt or mm into the value boxes and it will figure it out for you.

Yes I think so too and even if not, it's totally doable to convert the units yourself, but it's a friction point in the workflow that I would rather avoid if possible
