locust should add extending blocks to index.html to change the start test and edit test options

[TWoeste]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I want to be able to configure different options when starting a test with another field/toggle other than just the spawn rate and number of users.

Describe the solution you'd like

I would like to have {% extended_on_start %} and {% extended_edit_test %} to index.html so I can add in my own code new input fields to specify what kind of test I want. I am writing changes to my loadtester and based off of this toggle I want the code to set a flag that will tell what object to create.

Describe alternatives you've considered

I have considered forking the respository and changing the locust UI myself but I think is a little overkill for the small change I am thinking of. I have also considered adding a screen before you get to the start menu with the toggles but I am not sure how to do this currently and I think it will not look the best.

This could also be a solution to this problem.
You could use this UI change if you already had the different tasksets with your locust files

I dont think that problem (launching a completely different locust file) can be solved this way, but other than that I understand that being able to add UI fields might be useful. I’d be happy to look at a PR.

You need to push to your fork and then open a PR from your repo to locust master branch.
