Found a way to set alt constraints, but the API and documentation is really limited, cannot change the modifiers for the inserted altitude at this time, meaning if it's +5000 in the flight plan, you can change the value but the + will remain, meaning it will still interpret it as +<your value>.
For fixed altitudes this doesn't matter, but if the restriction has above/below constraints there's no known way of changing the prefix requirements at this time.
Will submit a PR with the current possible implementation soon, at least will help with most of the cases, until we get a better API support.

additionally some restriction provided are wrong and have to be manually corrected. I experienced this on a STAR at LFMN: 12000A instead of 6000A

I believe this is a bug from asobo's side

I've seen some code that might help with this, but this page is missing completely atm, so the UI needs to be built first, might take this over the weekend. Still unsure if anyone is still working on a CDU overhaul or not.

@lousybyte Any update?

@wpine215 Not from what I noticed, maybe #1695 would help with this.
