wlan_mgt.fixed.action_code is showing an invalid filter on Wireshark 2.6.0

I have 2 MacBook Pros, both with 10.13.4 - one is a 13 retina from early 2015, the 2nd is a 15-inch retina machine from mid-2015

The smaller MacBook is running Wirehskar 2.6.0 The Larger MacBook is running Wireshark 2.2.0

The problem I am having is with this filter "wlan_mgt.fixed.action_code == 7"

It is showing as red "invalid" on the Mac with Wireshark 2.6 and is working fine on the 2nd Mac with Wireshark 2.2

I believe I am missing something obvious, but why is the filer valid on older Wireshark and not the newer one, was it dropped? (I think unlikely) or is there something about the version of Wireshark that is preventing me to filter on management frames?
