Process Recipe - Question re setup

If I right-click on a file and choose Export/Variants... the dialog (under Export Recipe) says, TIFF/16bit, which is what I always have it at. Fine.

If I click on the Output tab (wheel cog symbol) at the top left of the screen, under Process Recipe/Basic/Format, it says, TIFF/8bit.

Not that it really matters - I never use this dialog anyway - but, why doesn't it say 16bit, as in the Export dialog?

Thanks.

  You can create and save a process recipe with whatever parameters you like. So you could create a new recipe using the ... menu.* Call it something meaningful to you such as TIFF 16-bit.Then with your new recipe selected in the list in the top panel, adjust the parameters in the Process Recipe panel to your taste. Obviously you'd choose TIFF and 16 bit in the format options, then you can also choose a whole lot of other things, like compression, ICC profile, whether to include a watermark, metadata and so on. If you want you can drag your recipe up to the top of the list. You can also delete the TIFF 8-bit recipe if you want (but why not leave it in place so that you can have the use of it when you need it.)
  
  * Also on the ... menu you can duplicate a recipe. So if you wanted a 16 bit TIFF recipe with everything the same as the 8 bit one apart from the bit depth, the easiest way is to duplicate the TIFF 8 bit recipe, rename the duplicate as required, then just change the bit depth leaving everything else as it was.
