What logging software are you using? ADIF version 3.0.9 defines RST_SENT and 
RST_RCVD as a string which is “signal report sent to the contacted station” and 
“signal report from the contacted station”.

I move my FT8 contacts from wsjt-x to my logging software, which is the DXLab 
Suite. DXKeeper has no problem handling the db numbers and signs from wsjt-x 
that are included in the ADIF log file signal report fields that I import.

This seems to be a lot better choice than to try to create a non-standard 
signal report arrangement that nothing will understand.

Hope this helps.
