Can i do it with editing the file and app the following line
In /etc/systemd/networkd.conf

How you got this menu can you elaborate
And i find a some post can’t find that rtn but it was told to make like systemd-networkd so it was i think etc/systemd/networkd.conf and adding that line will do that i don’t know much about that stuff and how you got that option i don’t have it in my gnome 42 system i could not find it in settings. Maybe i haven’t tried enough but if you can help. Please do.
I don’t have wireless setup but under settings network the far right gear click it then options and identity it has the option for random mac.
I am using nm-connection-editor but GNOME should have something similar. Open the GNOME Settings app and go to Network (or Wi-Fi) section and click the gear icon of the connection you want to edit:
