HDL Coder; Matlab Function Blocks and Clocked Processes

I belive my request is quite straigth forward.
I want the logic of my Matlab Funciton Block to be generated as clocked logic and not combinatorial logic.
Lets use the eml_hdl_incrementer example.
It generates
eml_inc_blk_1_output : PROCESS (ctr_preset, ctr_preset_val_unsigned, current_count)
But I would want it to generate
eml_inc_blk_1_output : PROCESS (clk)
I mean it should not be a miracle to achieve, but I could not find an option, that allows me to enforce this behaviour.
Is there an option to make matlab generate a clocked process or do I have to use specific patterns in my funciton?

For a subset of MATLAB with data flow semantics you may find MATLAB Function Block (Data Path Architecture) more suitable for your coding style needs
hdlset_param('eml_hdl_incrementer_dp/DUT_eML_Block/eml_inc_blk', 'Architecture', 'MATLAB Datapath');

-- Hierarchy Level: 1
-- Model version: 30.1

-- The function incrementer implements a preset counter that counts
-- how many times this block is called.
--
-- This example function shows how to model memory with persistent variables,
-- using fimath settings suitable for HDL. It also demonstrates MATLAB
-- operators and other language features that HDL Coder supports
-- for code generation from Embedded MATLAB Function block.
--
-- On the first call, the result 'counter' is initialized to zero.
-- The result 'counter' saturates if called more than 2^14-1 times.
-- If the input ctr_preset receives a nonzero value, the counter is
-- set to a preset value passed in to the ctr_preset_val input.
