Data fields/notifications while running a workout

So the Fenix 5 has just replaced my training setup where I would have an interval timer running on my smartphone next to my old original CycleOps Joule 2.0, both on my bike, while I'm HIITing the bike trainer. I like to be able to see how much time I have 'til the next interval along side my speed/hr/cadence/ride time metrics. Now I've built up my HIITs in Garmin Connect and sent them to the watch and I don't use my old setup anymore but I'm wondering if I can have everything I want on the same screen. Right now, I have to flip back to that unique workout screen that appears when I start a workout to see the time remaining in the interval.

Is it possible to get that interval timer datafield to display on another data screen, say with speed/cadence/hr? Does anyone know if someone has anyone created a downloadable datafield that does this?

Also... is it possible to turn off the notifications that I am in/out of my desired HR zone while running a workout so my metrics are always on screen?

Assuming you have Autolap turned off, the LAP TIME field should do the trick, although it would count up instead of down.

One way to suppress the notifications would be to set a much wider target HR range than you actually intend to keep.

Interesting workarounds but I was really hoping to get the count down, not the count up per interval. Not to mention, I think I tried using the LAP TIME field and it was just giving me max time. I'll try it again. Maybe I had a different time field.
