SMT Test Point

I have single pin parts that I added in the schematic as test points and the footprint is an SMT pad. Now I am trying to add manufacturing test points in the layout but I cannot get the tool to recognize those pads as test points or add them. I only want test points on the bottom side, which is where all of my SMT test points are. Neither manual or automatic works. The frequent error I get is "Pad is under a pin". I tried turning off all restrictions. I want this pin to become the test point. I was able to get vias to be added as test points on those nets but that is not what I want. I am out of ideas.

This is a component from schematic: try to add "test_point_allow_under" to the component (sorry, nor really sure of real syntax: i am at home with no allegro but the idea is here :) )

By default, you can not add a testpoint under component (normal behavior
