is there a way to dynamically set logistics requests on space platforms?

I'm trying to import a bunch of iron plate to make ammo on my ship because smelting asteroids would mean a 70 minute stop to replenish, but the second it leaves the hub it just asks for more. I want to get 4 launches of plates and then have it stop, even if those plates are then being used

And when do you want to have the next 4 launches of iron plates? That would be your condition to make the request stop.

Or of your space platform would leave at some fixed time, then you could just use a timer that would kick off your request only once per X minutes. At the 2nd kick off the request should be ignored as your platform is not in orbit anymore. But didn't test it yet.
