On AMS filemant run out: Allow remote change to another filament

I drove to work and got the message “filament run out”, once again.

There is other filament in the AMS 2 Pro, same Vendor, Same Material, Same Parameters, but a slightly other color.

It’s somewhat illogical to me why I can’t remotely tell it to start using this filament in another slot.

If there were different printing parameters required, I could absolutely understand the limitation. I also understand that it might be an issue if the other filament is already scheduled for use in a multi-color print.

But at least for the simple case – where the current print doesn’t plan to use the new filament and it matches all parameters (except color) of the depleted filament – there should be an option to remotely switch to that other filament, perhaps after one or two warnings.
