All are surface in this video shows. I want to extend the flat surface up to the circular surface but extend up to surface does not work. How to fix it?

Can you attach the file? I tried roughly recreating what you have and it works fine for me. 2021 sp3.

@Maha Nadarasa,
I'm not sure from your picture, but I may know what's going on.
What you are extending up to the surface has to fall within the bounds of the surface. If you are trying to extrude up to a flat surface, you can use a plane instead because planes are infinite. But, SW correctly chooses not to extrapolate outside of the surface you are extruding up to.
Does that make sense?
Here's a video showing how SW correctly chooses to have the feature fail after I edit it (you probably have to click on it for it to play):

@mattpeneguy Unless 2021 enhanced this feature, it works when its not intersecting.

Wow, you are right. If the surface is planar it works.
@Maha Nadarasa,
Can you post a video or your part of what exactly is failing, because your picture shows it working, right?

Here is part file (2020v). By using Multiple Trim I proceed but I want to know why extended up to surface does not work for this particular part. I tried extended up to surface separately but it worked.
