Is there an existing issue for this feature request?

I have searched the existing issues

It makes no logical or rational sense that there are different functions under Global vs Object process settings.

Why can I only program the first layer line width under Global settings? This makes no sense if I want to run 6-12 test blocks, all with different parameters to judge which is the ideal first layer line width for my filament.

Nor does it make any sense that we only get a general filament flow rate modifier (not simply top or bottom surface flow rates) under Object settings - because when we use this to fine tune our models (with 6-12 test models) we cannot save this under Global settings so it gets applied to all future prints!

Nor does it make sense to go edit the filament profile with an updated flow rate modifier, when our flow rate was already properly calibrated using the flow rate calibration tools built into the slicer!

So instead of an intelligent workflow, this is what we get: Calibrate filament flow rate (in this case 1.0 for TPU) save. Now calibrate your bottom layer flow ratio. Now calibrate your line widths. Oh damn - well with TPU our outer and inner wall lines have gaps even if we do crazy (40%) overlaps or increase the extrusion width to 0.65 on a 0.4 nozzle... so what do we do to fix this? Modify the flow rate under objects. Now that we have a 1.15 flow rate modifier which leaves zero gaps on our wall lines, we have NOWHERE TO PROGRAM THIS IN TO THE GLOBAL SETTINGS. Explain to me how this makes any logical or rational sense? Please fix this.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

All

Describe the solution you'd like

Give us the same exact tools under Global process settings that we have under Objects and vice versa! This shouldn't need to be requested.

Describe alternatives you've considered
