Strike selection: offset relative to another leg

In Strategy Builder / Automate, leg strike selection currently supports premium-closest-to-X and ATM/OTM/ITM offset from spot — but not a strike defined as an offset from another leg’s resolved strike. For iron condors/spreads where the sell leg is picked dynamically (e.g., premium closest to ₹X), the hedge leg needs to stay a fixed number of strikes away from wherever that sell leg lands, not from ATM/spot. Please add an option to set a leg’s strike as “N strikes from Leg [X]” — this would make dynamically-selected multi-leg hedges fully automatable.
