Title in NumberPicker on vivoactive

I have an app with a numberpicker, type "NUMBER_PICKER_TIME", and it works fine, but the title on it is "Set Local Time". Is there any way to change this to something more descriptive of what is to be entered? (this is on the va itself, not in the simulator).

On the simulator BTW, you get a popup for the NP, and it's title is better, as it's something like "enter a duration- 8:00:00 max"

Adding a more generic interface for the number picker is definitely on our ToDo list.

I tried switching to "NUMBER_PICKER_TIME_MIN_SEC", and it had the same "set local time" title, and I was thinking that a smaller "picker" would all fit on one screen without swiping to see the check mark, but that's not the case. This is a THE way to input anything to a CIQ app/widget, so it's a very visible feature.

@Brian, it shouldn't be on your "TODO" list, it should be on your "IN PROGRESS", or "COMPLETED" list! :)

End users can see this, and not notice that there was a speed improvement in the VM, for example.

Just ran across this issue when developing my app and wanted to second Jim's thoughts. Having an intuitive and consistent experience for users should be paramount and frankly this particular issue seems like a low-hanging fruit (just allow developers to provide the picker Text or make the picker that returns a Duration say "Duration" instead of "Local Time"). This would not be a good use of a Connect IQ developers time to roll our own number picker that likely won't quite have the same exact look-and-feel and behavior as the official Garmin one used in official Garmin and Connect IQ apps.
