Maximum decent elevation and return when taking off at 14,500' Elevation

No version that I've used has such a limit, and I have missions with as much as 700 m descent in them.

Maybe it’s a Mavic Pro limitation. I just tried it again, and Mission Hub only lets me go down 200 m below take off point.

Oh - I know what's happening. You are not using "online elevations" and setting the waypoint altitude relative to ground. If you are setting altitudes relative to takeoff then the slider does stop at -200 m. If you allow Litchi to use its online DEM and set waypoint altitudes relative to ground then there is no descent limitation.

You nailed it!! Well done.
