Version Numbers for iTC TestFlight

Colleagues
To utilise the TestFlight functionality in iTunes Connect (iTC) there is a need to generate pre-release builds.
Ideally it would be good if there was an option in the Application Settings to provide a pre-release version as well. Looking at the iTC documentation it seems that the Info.plist file is used to extract the required information about the build version and pre-release version. An extract from an Info.plist file generated by LC contains the following:
The iTC documentation suggests the first key is the build version, the second the pre-release version. Note these are currently populated with the same data based on the version field in the iOS tab of Application Settings . Editing the Info.plist is not an option after building the App as it invalidates the signing certificate.
Has anybody out there managed to find away around this to be able to use the beta testing functionality in iTC?
In the meantime, I have submitted a feature request for this option to be included in future releases.
