Has anyone seen this issue before when submitting an amended Form 11 where there was Tax Overpaid yet on clicking Submit a Payment Screen opens looking for payment from me rather than to me (refund)? Revenue customer service helpline only works half days (9am to 1.30pm)

Details;
I'm submitting an amended Form 11 for 2022 which is resulting in a slightly increased overpayment (i.e. refund to me).
I've edited the relevant panels/sections, resulting in updated an Calculations & IT Self Assessment panel. All good so far. The IT Self Assessment panel's column A & B match & shows the correct figure field (j) (ii) Balance of Tax Overpaid for this period. However, when I click the Sign & Submit page it brings me to a Payment Screen asking for a Payment Method & stating
There is no ROS Debit Instruction (RDI) linked to this Registration for this Tax Type. If this is required as the Payment Method you must
set-up an RDI before attempting to make this payment again.
And asking for a Payment Amount & Payment Date.
On the Setup an RDI page it states; You have chosen to set up a ROS Debit Instruction (RDI) to authorise payments to Revenue from your Bank/Building Society account.
To me this implies that Revenue is trying to take payment from me, rather than issuing a refund to me (i.e. the Balance of Tax Overpaid figure for this period) which is what should happen based on my IT Self Assessment. I would have assumed that Revenue would just take my amended self-assessment, review it & issue me with a refund to my bank account (the same process as a non-amended Form 11 submission for overpayments). If I set up an RDI or manually enter my payment details & date I'm assuming it will payment from me or is it the case that amendments & resulting overpayments/refunds are processed differently & it will issue a payment to me?

You're overthinking this.

Set up the RDI. Then tick the box for refunds to be credited to the account you have specified.

Job done.

Got it, thanks. That tick box isn't on the Payments Screen but maybe it will be on subsequent screens, TBC.
Right now there's an issue in setting up an RDI; on Step 1 after entering my Account Name, IBAN & BIC & clicking Next, it just clears contents from all fields & stays at Step 1. Same with another browser. Seems to be an issue on ros.ie
 
So instead of RDI setup (due to above ros.ie glitch) I opted for Visa Debit as the Payment option it's clearly looking to take payment from my card. Zero indication (anywhere) that it's looking to issue payment/refund (for the overpayment) to me. So I've held off.
Meantime the Form 11 Amended doc was issued to me & it states the 'Overpaid (Per Assessment)' figure.
Anyone seen this issue before?
 
To set up RDI you input details and then new screen opens up for you to rekey information and if same as initial input it accepts, be careful with caps etc to make sure it's 100% identical to first input page

Thanks I did that now & set up the RDI for Income Tax.
However as the Amended Form 11 has now been submitted without payment of the overpayment/refund to me (as there was no RDI set up at the time & the Direct Debit option looked like it wanted payment from me rather than the other way around) I don't have an option anywhere for that refund to be issued to me. Do I need to contact Revenue to ask them to manually push the refund to my chosen payment method (RDI in this case)?
 
So Revenue Helpline today said Ros.ie should not have prompted a Payment Screen on submission of my Amended Form 11 looking for payment & that instead the refund for overpaid tax will be issued to my bank account through EFT (i.e. via normal EFT method, not RDI or to Visa Debit). Let's see. Meantime I'm not sure what to believe as there's a clear difference of experience & expertise level across Revenue's Helpline, friendly as they are.
