Limited Datafield screen layouts for new Edge 550/850

As per the image attached, Is it a bug that the new edge550/850 devices only present a limited number of datafield screen layout options - there isn't even a 1 field screen layout option anymore?

**  Unfortunately, this system is not letting me attach images - something about "The selected file is not allowed due to file quota restrictions".  I can provide screen shots if required

    You! are! SUPER!!! This works!!
    For Mac users, the file is in  /Users/xxxx/Library/Application Support/Garmin/ConnectIQ/Devices/edge550/simulator.json

    The blue section needs to be added and saved.

    Me too - I got the fancy Tymewear HR/Breathing monitor that Visma Team is using and though it works on virtually every Garmin product out ther, it isn’t yet supported for the Edge 550/850! Crazy. Please fix this Garmin!! I don’t want to have to return my 850 but if it can’t be used as the 840 was able to be used what choice do I have?

    The configuration for the simulator is defined in simulator.json for each device.
    I updateed this file in C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Roaming\Garmin\ConnectIQ\Devices\edge850

    I added this block of text after line 1125:

                        {
                            "drawBorders": true,
                            "fields": [
                                {
                                    "data": {
                                        "font": "simExtNumber6",
                                        "justification": "center",
                                        "width": 412,
                                        "x": 210,
                                        "y": 184
                                    },
                                    "label": {
                                        "font": "simExtNumber5",
                                        "justification": "center",
                                        "x": 210,
                                        "y": 60
                                    },
                                    "labelDisabled": false,
                                    "location": {
                                        "height": 600,
                                        "width": 420,
                                        "x": 0,
                                        "y": 0
                                    },
                                    "obscurity": []
                                }
                            ],
                            "name": "1 Field"
                        },

    Works for me
