can't refine or feather a healing mask in v22

I recently upgraded from v11 to v22. In v11, I was able to draw a healing mask and then could refine the mask and/or feather the edge of the mask so it blends with the background better. In v22, when I create a healing mask I no longer have the option to refine the mask or feather the mask. I thought maybe you had to rasterize the mask but I can't do that either.

How do I feather or refine a healing mask in v22? Without the ability to do this in v22, healing masks are useless to me.

  Surely the Healing mask is deciding how to blend the changes to the image and the idea of "refining" the mask manually (specifically in the context of healing) is therefore somewhat redundant or potentially confusing? (In most cases.) 

  A bit like keeping a dog but doing the barking and tail wagging yourself?

  You can't use the Feather and Refine tools as such on a healing mask. But you can change the softness/hardness and the opacity and flow when you use the healing brush so you can blend it in at the edges if you want. Feathering or blending it like that can be a good idea sometimes. But I doubt whether there is much mileage in trying to "refine" the mask to get a precise edge. The heal is very unlikely to blend in if you do. You can also use the erase brush to further adapt the mask, though.
