Different Data screen layouts within the same activity (as on Forerunner 235)?

Hi All

A quick question. Can we have different data screen layout within the same activity?
There are some excellent data field in the IQ store but some are optimised / best displayed on 1 field per screen.

For instance for running, I would like to have:
- Data screen 1: 4x data fields
- Data screen 2: 1x data filed (full screen)

This seems to be available on some other Garmin watches (Forerunner 230/235, which is cheaper than the VA3!):
On Forerunner 230/235:
. Activity->Setting->Data Screen -> Data screen 1 -> layout...
. Activity->Setting->Data Screen -> Data screen 2 -> layout...

in the VA3:
. Activity->Setting->Data Screen -> Layout
. Activity->Setting->Data Screen -> Data screen 1
. Activity->Setting->Data Screen -> Data screen 2

so in the VA3 the Layout selection applies to all data screen 1-3? All the data screen can only have the same layout?

Did I missed a setting somewhere?
If not, would Garmin change this in future Firmware releases, as this is available on cheaper/older watches ?

You can not use it with the native fields, but you could select a one field data screen and download different "full window" fields for every screen
