I would like to request a mode that uses up all of the filament in the AMS or AMS lite that bypasses color requirement in the AMS, Still hold true to filament type.
I have multiple items that, truly do not matter the color they are printed in and also people tend to like them with more colors.
I currently have to go through the process of lying to Bambu studio and marking all of the filament in the AMS as the same color in order to kick off the Auto-refill
after the spool runs out. This should be a feature, currently with the Bambu filament I end up cutting the RFID tags off just to trick the AMS or AMS lite. If there was a mode that allowed bypasses to happen automatically it would make this process a lot simpler for many folks wanting to use up those last bits of filament from the roll, or just simply don’t have the same color laying around to finish a print.
It would be great to have this feature both in printer and in slicer.

I would like to second this!
I am rethinking buying Bambu filaments, since I don’t want the hassle of having a little bit of filament on a spool and not having another matching spool. With non-Bambu, I just “lie” and have the print go on, and not worry. Unless I’m missing something, there is no way to override the RFID tag on the spool. If I’m wrong, please let me know.
I’m running the current version of the firmware on my X1 and Bambu Studio v2.3.0.70 on macOS.

You can turn off “Insertion Update” before a print where you want to use up spools.

Thank you so much for the info! I do really appreciate this! I was already aware of this “Insertion update” feature, I am hoping something really easy and laid out for a noob. I have a large clipper next to my printer so it takes me all of about 5 seconds to clip the RFIDs if I am using BL filament, which is easier than walking over to my computer at the other end of the house to change this setting.
Instead of noobs having to look up how to turn this off I am trying to see if this can be as automated as possible:
My dream is you toggle a mode on, it automatically knows to calibrate all of the spools and save to the printer and marks them in the system as same filament, It can even pop up a warning about mixing materials such as PETG and PLA not adhering Yada Yada, and then just allows you to select the starting spool and it automates the rest, it could possible have a setting for least amount of/no purge between filments. These are just thoughts hoping to improve peoples experience 
I just had someone in another forum say he would never use his AMS because he thinks it’s a waste of filament (Referring to crazy color changes at each layer etc.) Yet he throws away the ends of his spools lol, if this could be advertised more it may help save a bunch of filament, as we know what the user experience is during the process, is what can make/break this.
