A SSA US state record distance flight, for example, requires 1km start and finish lines perpendicular to the respective flight paths centered on the start/finish point (along with 90deg turnpoint areas along the course).  I can't figure out how to create a task like this in WeGlide.  The Keyhole task type comes closest but only allows a finish ring and no opportunity to change dimensions.  Is there a way to this?

I believe WeGlide should provide a 'Custom' task type that allows us to choose the TP area type and dimensions for every TP including start/finish (just like the task declaration capability we have in our flight computers or, for example, SeeYou). 

Yes, I know this isn't a big deal to work around and you can create an aligned task declaration  in other tools.  But WeGlide is meant to be a one-stop shop; SSA adopted WeGlide; and we are paying for these features. I think accommodation of SSA task requirements is reasonable - but the ability to enter flexible task parameters seems the most appropriate.

If you agree, getting past the WeGlide chatbot to send a support request is a little cumbersome, here's their support email address: WeGlide Support <in...@weglide.org>

Follow up - WeGlide responded:  
     We definitely need a custom task and have a pretty good idea how it might look. It's rather complicated to implement (planning, scoring, etc.) so we need some time for this.

Great to hear this - yay
