Print settings per build plate???

Can you have different print settings per build plate. I have simple project with 4 models on 4 plates. I want one to be 0.2 layer height another 0.1 and another 0.3.. But when I slice each plate it reverts just to a common layer height. Assuming maybe one can only use one set of print settings per plate, which seems very limiting. Is this the way Bambu Slicer also does it? 

Maybe I'm missing something. Using MacOs. (latest)

Think I found that both Bambu & Prusa use a common set of print settings for each build plate.. Too bad.. I would think that if you were doing a project you'd really want different print settings per plate in many cases.. I realize it would increase size of file.. but it's all just text configs. This is not as useful a feature as I thought. I'd do it by using modifiers on multiple build plates, but not nearly as nice as print settings per build plate. That seems more sane.

RE:

It is possible to override settings for each object. Make a right click on an object in the 3D View or the Object list to the right, choose "Add settings" → "Layers and Perimeter", check "Layer height", select the new Setting below of the object in the Object list and set an individual layer height below the Object list.

Hope, this is what you wanted.

The best way I can think of would be to change the layer height per model. This also works all on one sheet (I've had multiple models on a sheet, each with their own layer height and/or variable layer heights.)
