How do I indicate the order of the relay runners?

When registering for competition, I indicated which 4 competitors were running the relay; these are neatly listed under the "relay teams," however, it is unclear to me if and how I can change the order of the runners.

You cannot specify the order of the relay runners for every competition.

For example not for competition and Athletics Champs competitions.

For other competitions with a relay, you can do specify a runner's position.

This is about the national summer competition CD Juniors (In my case, "Juniors C/D Pool 53 Competition 3"). There was a lot of confusion about this at the previous competition: the random format of Athletics.app had been used to create startlists to verify legitimate participation. Anyway, I understand that I cannot (for now) specify order in Athletics.app. I will communicate order to the race organization by other means. Thanks anyway.

We purposely laid it out for the national competition, on the jury forms all of the start numbers of the athletes you entered on the relay team will appear.

A jury form then looks like this (every change point the same):

Can this still not be changed? Team leaders come to tell us what their order is, but this is actually pointless?

The order of competitors within a relay team usually only has to be communicated to the organization on the day of the competition itself. Because team managers do not yet know the order when they register the team, it caused a lot of questions from team managers when they had to specify the exact order during online registration. That is why we have disabled this function for the national competition. However, each transition point does see all the bib numbers on the list and can thus check whether the right person is at the transition point. Does it cause you any problems that you cannot now specify the exact order?
