MIDI faders on IP8

I was really disapointed today to find out I can’t place midi faders on my IP8s…
I was hoping to have the IP8 setup for control of backing tracks with a mix of inputs on the mixer as well as MIDI remote faders to control Ableton with the DAW control app.

Also still realy frustrated that there’s no mass manage option for setting up the IP8, like changing all the faders to control an Aux send level without doing it one by one…

My request for Midi faders on IP8s got forwarded to A&H by local support back in January.
Seems not to be high on the list…

Yeah, very disappointing to see that the IP controllers has basically been forgotten in terms of adding functionality. We need a LOT more options for these controllers. Midi faders and FX parameters to begin with.

Any more luck with this question?
