Using multiple go versions while debugging with GoLand

Question

Using Go's documentation on managing Go installs, I have got two versions of Go on my system:

$ go version
go version go1.16.13 linux/amd64

$ go1.17 version
go version go1.17 linux/amd64

1.16 installed using Fedora's dnf and 1.17 using go install golang.org/dl/go1.17@latest; go1.17 download (I get it that latest 1.17 is 1.17.6, but that's OK for my purpose.)

In GoLand, I would like to use go1.17 to debug without modifying the system settings as a whole to use go1.17 every time I run a go command. I tried setting GOBIN=/home/<username>/go/bin/go1.17 in the Environment section of "Run/Debug Configurations", but that doesn't work (I'm not sure if it should.)

Is it possible to use a different Go version for debugging while using GoLand? How?

You can add your 1.16.13 Golang to the GoRoot setting from this path: settings/Go/GOROOT

see this picture

after that, you can select The target version that you want to test. just need to select between 1.17 or 1.16 in this setting.

unfortunately, I didn't find any easier solution.

Is it possible to have Goland recognise the version directly from go.mod file?
