Was hinge softlock removed?

There use to be an option in properties for contraints such as hinge & prismatic which would get lock into position when it reach its target or angle.

I notice it got removed but why?
Is there any option?
As am having issue with heavy weights.
My hydraulic are glitching since the load is too heavy even tho its force/torque is infinite.
When we had the option for soft lock , it was fine. :frowning:

It appears to have been marked as “Deprecated” on the 6th of February, and was added on the 23rd of October, 2023:

(The dates show up if you hover over the version numbers.)

Because they were marked as Deprecated, it won’t show up in the properties window, however, it does still exist. Scripts should still be able to read and modify it, but it isn’t a good idea. Given that this property was only “supported” for 4 months, before mysteriously disappearing, they may have walked back on their decision to add it in the first place and might remove it completely.

However, the Release Notes for Version 600, the version this was added in, does actually explicitly mention it:

Given this fact, this might be a mistake. Maybe someone removed it by accident, not realizing they had announced it as a feature? I will post a Bug Report about this.

EDIT:
I have created the Bug Report here:

Thank you. I wish they hadn’t removed it. Moving objects were much smoother.
Right now when i try to make objects move with heavy loads it flings around and its unstable.
