Configuration for widget or data field

Is there a way to create configuration data that can then be used when updating either a widget or data field?

For example, I'd like to setup some information before the start of an activity. Then provide feedback during the activity based on that setup. This a per activity setup. I assume the only way to do this at the moment is to have a companion phone app that is used to do the setup.

Would it be possible to allow sharing static data between a wearable app and widgets or data fields? That case, the user would run the app before starting the activity to configure. Then during the activity the widget or data field uses that pre-configured data. Setting up a virtual partner before an activity is probably a good example of the kind of thing I'm after.
  • In a future preview we will have our settings system, which allows any app type to specify user settings that can be configured through Garmin Connect Mobile. This will allow data fields to do the configuration step without having to develop a specific Android or iOS phone app to do the configuration.

    There are no plans to have an app file have multiple app types.
