Never mind found that when you don't clear them they are saved to the printer until you change them.

I have an idea for a plugin but currently do not feel confident enough to create this plugin on my own. I have not started work on any part of this yet but have found existing plugin wiki that exists and have taken a glance at the different example codes that it has.
The idea is as follows:
In either the printer settings window and/or somewhere in the print settings adding a area where you can setup and save post-processing scripts. The idea being that they will be saved and will be automatically applied when slicing your g-code but do not have to be entered each time you switch printers.
Any help would be appreciated because I really don't know how to approach making this plugin.

I copy and pasted all the related files that it saved from 4.11 into 4.12 and the printer doesn't appear as a printer in Cura, but I get no error messages either.
However, I was able to modify the .json files to add a second extruder. I had failed to notice the commas when copy and pasting pieces from working definitions and have gotten my printer to print using Octoprint, I haven't messed with it enough to say whether this is required.
Thank you for your help, I did look back at the previous discussions and learned about a different dreamer profile which didn't seem to work for me. It also showed me that I had used too specific of keywords when searching about this issue previously.

I recently switched to using Cura from Slic3r and have been having some difficulties adding my Flashforge Dreamer as a printer. So far I have looked for an existing definition and found Egon's version that he had made for a previous version of Cura. I managed to get their version to work on Cura 4.11 briefly before the 4.12 version came out however after updating the printer definition shoed as corrupted. Since then I have found the Dreamer NX profile to work for my printer but doesn't allow for using my second extruder. I have tried to copy and edit the .json files to allow for adding a second extruder without corrupting the existing Dreamer NX profile that exists in Cura but all my efforts return as the new definitions being 'corrupted.' I have also tried to make a version of the printer as a custom printer but needed to fun several post scripts to tweak the g code when slicing a model in order to change the nozzle temperatures correctly. Can someone help me be able to print with my printer?
Tuning extruder to remove artifacts
in Improve your 3D prints

Hello all,
I am relatively new to tuning 3d printers and despite researching possible fixes to my problem I have been unable to fix it.
When printing on my Flashforge Dreamer, a direct driver dual extruding printer, I haver been experiencing inconsistent extrusion in my prints and can pin point the cause. Attached is a photos showing the extrusion that I am experiencing, this was a bed leveling print that was a bit too close but the outside edge shows the artifact that I am trying to fix. This extrudsion also happens through the rest of the print but the outside shows it the best.
Modification that I have made to my printer that I have made are: adding a glass bed, switching out the hot end, all metal hot end, switching to a stainless steel nozzle. However, all these changes were made before the inconstant extrusion began to occur.
I have also flashed the firmware to marlin form Flashforge's original firmware. The inconstant extrusion started after this change so I am pretty sure that this is the cause I just do not what setting would cause this. I also have the original "human word" marlin for the printer, the mother board doesn't seem to be in the marlin library, however I haven't gotten the marlin writer that is in Visual Studio Code tool to compile the marlin script yet.
Also attached is a project file for the bed level print as I have seen them being useful for other troubleshooting that I may have missed
