Litchi Waypoint Question - Will the drone RTH if contact is lost?

The drone will continue on its mission when signal is lost.
The above comment seems to be true up to the last waypoint of the mission. Here is additional clarity...
For the Mavic 2, It appears that the mission is complete at the last waypoint of that mission and not after Litchi's "Finish Action" setting. Litchi does allow "Finish Actions" at the end of the mission such as "Land" or "Reverse", etc. If the signal is lost during the "Land" operation and after the drone has reached last waypoint, the Mavic 2 will default to the current Mavic 2 settings for "Remote Controller Signal Lost". In most cases this "Remote Controller Signal Lost" defaults to "Return-to-Home". In my experiences this is exactly what the Mavic 2 will do at the end of a mission and the signal is lost with the controller as it is in the process of landing. It will "Return-to-Home" at the current altitude or if the RTH altitude setting is higher, it will rise and RTH at that altitude. This is only a possible issue if your mission is a one-way mission. If the mission is not one-way, this behavior highlights why it may be wise to set the last waypoint at or near the initial home point. Other "Remote Controller Signal Lost" settings include "Landing" or "Hover".
