We have a DJI Phantom 4 Pro RTK drone. We need to fly in an area with a lot of radio interference from transmission towers to capture aerial photos for an orthoimage. It is a small flight that should take 20 minutes or less but the drone keeps loosing signal with the controller. When the drone looses signal it just stops in place. We have line of sight to the drone at all times. Is there a way to have the drone continue the current flight plan and not return home unless the battery gets low?

While most flight control apps allow you to configure what happens when a lost link occurs (including the option of "continue mission"), I don't recall if GS RTK does. I'll try to check. You can too.

Have you considered a Litchi autonomous mission?  It doesn't require a control signal during the mission.  Good luck

What is Litchi? and will it work with the Phantom 4's controller with built in display?

Forget Litchi, it's for recreational use. Wrong good idea.
In addition it does not manage the RTK, and cannot be used on p4 RTK remote. Nothing serious.

If I remember correctly, in the settings there is RC lost signal: Go home / Hover / Continue.

You have to choose continue. The drone will continue its route, and at the end of the flight plan it will return to home.

I no longer have the RC with the build in screen, only the SDK. And with UGCS it works very well.
