Can we get improved thread functionality?

Is it possible to create a (metric) thread function that does not have fixed values but rather builds up thread according to the relations between pitch and nominal diameter? In this way there is no need for Onshape to put in the many hundreds of possibilities that are out there (and which I now need to continue my work :-) ). Attached image shows the relation between geometry, nominal diameter and pitch.
Having a function that 'cuts' internal (and possibly external) threads based on nominal diameter and pitch would be great. BTW I personally do not care about visual thread. I need a drilled hole (size=nominal-pitch) and an annotation displaying the correct thread and pitch on my drawing.
Thank you very much.
