Add a toggle to choose if last reps are from any workout or just this specific workout

Hi,
After having dealt with this issue when my last reps makes no sense multiple times in the last few weeks, I wanted to create a feature request to fix it.
Basically in these two cases at least I have issues :
- When on one workout you're doing an exercise using reps, and on another workout you're using time for the same exercise.
- When you did some GTG and the previous reps part makes no sense, being half the max without weight for pull-up for instance
Proposed solution :
Add a global toggle setting that would allow user to choose if the previous reps/time part is from all workouts altogether or just from the same workout.
Thanks in advance, I have added some screenshot of the app and one from the configuration part of Hevy that dealt with the situation in an elegant way I think.

MathisG I'm wondering if we could use some smart logic to figure out what last value to use, instead of adding yet another setting, so that things work well by themselves, all the time, and the user does not need to spend time searching through the settings. I also feel like you might want to use one or the other option depending on the situations.
For example, you mentioned using GTG; we could take into account and if you're not doing a GTG session, look for the last non-GTG session values (and vice-versa if you're doing a GTG session).
If you have identical exercises in several routines that you've been doing recently, we could take the last value fom the same linked routine.
If you haven't done the exercise in 6 months, we could use adapted value (lower reps, lower sets) instead of using the last one you did.
Etc...
What do you think?

> For example, you mentioned using GTG; we could take into account and if you're not doing a GTG session, look for the last non-GTG session values (and vice-versa if you're doing a GTG session).
=> That'd be easy yes if you have access to exercises done in GTG (from my understanding, GTG just restart the workout with its timer to add a few more reps and is not a complete other mode per see currently but I might be wrong)
> If you have identical exercises in several routines that you've been doing recently, we could take the last value form the same linked routine.
=> So if we do it in two routines in say a 30 days span, it would focus on same routine instead of every workout ? Sounds good yeah !
> If you haven't done the exercise in 6 months, we could use adapted value (lower reps, lower sets) instead of using the last one you did
=> I'd still want to be able to see last workout rep even if it's 6 month ago. Maybe adding a color or an arrow with a tooltip saying something like "Haven't done this one in a while, you might want to take it easy" ? Or at least making sure we dissociate the last value from the proposed value somehow that is clear, self explicit and documented
But I'm all for it, as you said, too many settings can create an overload and not be user friendly at all o/
