How do I set a 2D sprite animation to ping-pong wrap mode? Debug mode setting does not work

Question

I have a falling animation that I need to wrap in pingpong mode in 2D unity 5. I've opened the animation file in the inspector and set the wrap mode to pingpong, but the animation still just loops regularly in the default way.

I read on another answer that it needs to be a Legacy animation type, so I check the box for Legacy, and now the Animation State in my controller doesn't accept the falling animation anymore.

I tried setting it in script, but the ability to modify specific animations in script has been deprecated for some reason. Please bear in mind that this is just one animation in one state in one animator controller that I need in pingpong mode.

I've looked around everywhere online for an answer and I've come up with none. Help a brother out? How do I set a 2D sprite animation to pingpong wrap mode?

Looks like as of Unity Version 5.3.0f4 there is no unity native way to do this, and wrapmode editing is no longer possible. To get my desired effect, I just manually edited the animation. I copied the frames and reversed them, making the native wrapmode look like a pingpong. Close enough I guess.

Unfortunately, legacy pingpong doesn't work with Animator. Presumably, you should create loop animation directly in Animator For pingpong: First animation with normal speed =1 and the second with speed = -1 alt text
