How to copy/use profiles on different nozzle diameters
I have a set of presets for eSun and Sunlu PETg filaments for my XL. I swapped in a 0.8mm nozzle on Toolhead 5 and now all of my user presets for filament on that toolhead are inaccessible.
I thought maybe PrusSlicer enforces a per-nozzle-diameter configuration for filaments (annoying, given how manual the data entry process is for dozens or hundreds of filaments in my shop), but when I tried to save the a custom filament on ToolHead 5 with the "Sunlu PETg Clear" label, it errored out saying that the preset already exists.
(a) If it exists, why can't I access it when there's a different nozzle diameter, and
(b) If i have to make a new profile for every nozzle diameter I use, why can't I reuse a name.
NB - I'm new to PrusaSlicer after 6+ years of Cura, so everything seems oddly hidden in layers of sub-menus, and everything is named differently, so apologies if there is a check box in the settings that will let me access all of my filament presets when I change the nozzle diameter.

Not all filament settings line up exactly depending on the size of a nozzle.
PS uses dependency checks to auto-separate out 'incompatible' filament profiles based on your printer settings. The (red/green) flag can be toggled to show or not show incompatible profiles.

Ah - it’s the dependencies I’m missing (automagically locked by default). Is there a separate filament editor, or filament database file in PS that I can edit directly?

Other than the PS tab you can manually edit the ini files in (Windows10) "%AppData%\PrusaSlicer\filament". But it only contains the User presets, not any System presets. I could be wrong but I think we're hardcoded out of editing any system preset profiles (that come from the configuration setup) directly. So just start a new User preset from a System preset and save with a slightly different name.
