I've figured out a work around to this. It only works if you are MVPG or higher or +60 days out as it involves two changes. Just change the segment you want to upfare to a different flight altogether. Then change it back to your original flight but this time search for Gold upgrade-eligible (or whatever you are trying to get). Obviously you need to know beforehand that the class you are looking for is available. I do it this way all the time.
