Switching Between Time Trial and Road Bike w/ AIFTP

I have a question on how to leverage the new AI for time trial training. I live where the wind can occasionally be prohibitive for the TT bike. Secondly, I have a setup with an old road bike on my trainer, hate swapping bikes on it, and would rather travel to work with the old bike for my 24hr shifts at the fire station than the expensive TT bike. How should I manage my current FTP from the indoor season on my road bike at 300W when using the TT bike now that the season is approaching? I fail workouts on the TT if I leave it at 100%, but get told I struggled if I lower it to 90% on the TT bike, even though it was appropriate. Should I manually lower my FTP to 270W and make the AI recalibrate? Or, should I keep decreasing my workouts to 90% when I am on the TT outside and leave my endurance rides/workouts at work on the road bike at 100%? Could a feature be added to address different bike positions?

I’m also curious on how to handle this. I do occasional time trial events outside so getting some endurance and sweet spot workouts are needed to get more time on the TT bike, but doing them at my road bike FTP is not going to happen. What is the best way to handle this? Also, when I go all out for a race, my watts will be lower for the same effort even though the speed is higher. Does the AIFTP have anything to handle these different disciplines?
