Setting Clock Input Transition Value When Pin Defined at Instance Output

JAUB

Quick CTS question (EDI 10.1.3) . When the clock root is defined at the output , such as
 
AutoCTSRootPoint   someInstanceName/Y
 
How do I set the input transition value for the clock root ? 

I cannot use RootInputTran in the clock spec file to specify the input transition at the clock root since the clock is not specified at an input pin/port.

The clock report shows  that CTS used the default root input tran value of 1ps which is way to fast for this design (periods for clocks 47ns and 100ns). 

  I recall seeing something about a setting/variable to tell CTS to take the driving cell into account to avoid using the default, but I cannot locate it in the docs or through online search.

 Any suggestions ?

 Thank You,
