How can I have a hike-and-fly trip (paraglidign) maintain the true barometric elevation?

Apart from not having any ‘flying’ activity type, i would like to record my hike-and-fly activities in Strava, and show the true elevation (e.g. in the 3D map plot). 

Now Strava ‘collapses’ my elevation, even though I use a Garmin Fenix with barometric altimeter. So it’s ‘true’ elevation, not inaccurate GPS height. There seem to be no activities that keep the true elevation, and the option to ‘recalculate elevation’ is gone in the UI. 

If this is not working anymore, should I make a request to implement such a feature?
