Lux Invertor Set up with Flux

I've had my 5.6Kw PV, Lux 3.6 and 6.2Kw batteries for about 7 months now. I switched to flux a few months ago, with good results BUT:
My panels are SW facing so at their optimum at peak Flux export time 4-7pm.
This is great on a cloudless sunny day as I can turn off the forced disharge and get maximum 3.6Kw export AND keep charging the batteries, if required.
However, if its intermittant cloud/sunny intervals, I have to have the forced discharge on to ensure a 3.6Kw export during a cloudy period. But I'm then wasting considerable potential battery charge (up to another 1.5Kw) during sunny periods.
Is there anyway of setting the Lux invertor so that it can detect this change ie have an Export First/priority, in the same way you can set a charge First/priority?
So ideally - cloudy patch - maximum export including any discharge. Sunny interval - max export but then switch from discharge to chaging. This would be super efficient.
Obviousley I can do it manually if at home but constant adjusting for 3 hours is a right pain.
If not possible at the moment, who do we contact to suggest this developed in a software/hardware update?

If Lux could get something like that sorted it would work well for me as well, we both have a similar set up and have the same problem of being sold an undersized inverter for our systems but you don't know that at the time
I've always thought the priority options and the 'Set Quick Charge' button on the front are the opposite of anything I ever want to do.

Indeed. They just need to swap them to Quick export and export priority!
