I use custom workouts to tweak standard TR ones (but much less so, now that I’m using Adaptive Training more effectively).
An example of my ‘custom’ workout would be a tweak of Creise. In the last set, I’d increase the rest durations from 0:30 to 0:45. That simple modification gets my old, exhausted body, a fighting chance to finish the workout and hit the power targets.
All this is interesting discussion about custom workouts — but my core question was really about ERG vs. Resistance mode and whether it correlates to ‘successful completion’.

We can have an evidenced based argument if you want, and I can use your same argument against what you are proposing: how many people will use this? How many actually care?
On the substance of your argument, I disagree that this is / would be easy for TR to implement on top of existing workouts today. In your system, when TR automatically switches out of ERG mode, what mode and at what setting does it switch into? Resistance Mode or Standard Mode if a trainer supports both? At what level? Should the user be able to select both the mode and the level? Etc.
