Azure Front Door URL rewrite to lowercase and segment url_path

We have a website https://www.example.com/detail/nameXXX/abcDEF, and we want to redirect to https://www.example.com/detail/abcdef. The rules are blow:

  1. drop the second segment(nameXXX) in url_path.
  2. lowercase the last segment in url_path.

We can use {url_path:seg#} to segment the url_path and use {url_path.tolower} to lowercase the url_path, but how to use one operation to segment and lowercase the url_path??

We tried to use {url_path:seg#.tolower}, {url_path:seg#}.tolower and {{url_path:seg#}}.tolower. All those are useless.
