Adjust heart-rate zones based on people on beta blockers

Is there any plan to add a modified max heart rate field based on people on beta blockers. There are several well researched scales. Fitbit is great for my heart patients but so many are on beta blockers they cannot use the standard heart. Thank you

You can set your own max heart rate to override to usual 220 - age.
On phone app Today screen:
Gear icon at top right > scroll down to Preferences: Heart Rate > Exercise: Heart Rate Zones > Custom Max Heart Rate
lets you enter a value lower that the normal value (that you might have gotten from another site you mentioned).  The number you enter will be used to recalculate you exercise zones.
