On the Place Back SP Bet rule there is a 'minimum' option but no 'maximum' option...

Some of my Back strats are based on the price must be above a certain BSP maximum figure. Likewise, some of my Lay strats are based on a selection being at a BSP minimum price. I have added Lay Price & Back Price rules must be greater than 'n' before event start time but often races are delayed and prices may fluctuate in that added time, which means I either miss out or a trade is placed and then it goes against me. Having the 'other' min & max options within these rules would revolutionise my automation.

Is there a way to add a 'maximum' option to the Place Back SP Bet rule?

I don't think that will be possible because Betfair don't have that functionality, just min/max as the BA screens show.

Being able to switch your Best Execution setting (on your account) on or off per transaction is something people have been asking Betfair for for quite some time.

You could maybe approximate this by using TakeSP rather than SP. TakeSP can be cancelled so you track the market price and if it goes outside your range boundaries you could cancel.
