Add custom bed type

I would like to have the possibility to add a custom bed type, duplicating an existing one in the same way of the printing profile.
This is a problem for how the filament setting is built, if have the 4 fixed bed type in bed temperature settings, so it have to be changed with a drop-down menu or some combinations of static and added menu.
Why I asked this?
Because I often need to change the temperature of the bed to match a particular type of filament or printing.
So it’s a problem to make a custom filament setting remembering for which plate I’ve modified the temp, or create more than one profile changing it every time I need a temp switch, like Silk PLA @BBL A1 - cool bed 45 or Generic PLA @BBL A1 - PEI bed 55
I think it will be really useful also for third party bed need to be set, for instance, at 45°.
It will be really easier having an add button to create a bed and to set different specs, than in a filament profile you just need to add the temp for the custom bed and choosing it at your own discretion.

Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I am not disputing your request; you know your needs better than me.
Yet, for me at least, it seems more straightforward to set profiles for specific filaments, e.g.:

Bambu PLA-CF Royal Blue
Sunlu PLA+ Brown Chocolate
PolyMide PA6-GF

And each filament entails specific settings, including bed temperature.

Ciao Jay.

Yes, I understand. This is the way I’m working right now.
But, for what I tried, I find difficult checking temp and personalize the bed then selecting just the bed, in particular with non-original bed, I think it would be better.
At least for me.

Anyway, thanks for the contribute.
Always a pleasure compare ideas.
