Programmatically update the value of the Flight Plan 'rotation' parameter

Question

I would like to programmatically update the value of the Flight Plan 'rotation' parameter (flight direction). However, it seems that this parameter is part of the 'info' substructure that is read-only and cannot be updated. Is there another way to update the rotation value? Obviously, I expect the flight duration to get recalculated and updated accordingly by the DroneDeploy App as a result of this update.

Thanks @Eyal.

I think we should make that parameter available for you to edit, but bear in mind that we are intending to auto optimise the flight direction ourselves as a default feature in the next 4 weeks.

The optimisation will be relatively naive though, and only seek to reduce the flight time.
