Feature request: Orion TR Smart - user defined current limit

How to do we submit a feature request to Victron?

I have a 100 A small frame Balmar alternator on my marine diesel. I installed 2x Orion TR Smart 30A to charge my 420 Ah lithium house bank. My alternator regulator limits max continuous alternator output to 80A but I would also like to limit each TR Smart DC-DC (set in charger mode) to 30A to keep the alternator cooler when operating for long periods.

Seems like adding a user defined charge current limit when set to charger mode would be a relatively simple to implement software change?

The new Orion XS has that feature:

I don't think the "old" Orion will get that feature.
