Yes, thanks for that. I do change the units for some reports, unfortunately kilopascal does not exist as a selectable unit which is the crux of the issue, so I was looking at different ways of adding that unit and possibly Humidex as an available value as well.
I’m going to take a peak at the aqi extension to see if I can use it as an example for what I need to do.
