It forces any id. Just like it forces that there should be actual g-codes in there. It needs those (especially for Cura Connect) to be able to figure out if it can be printed at all. This doesn't seem like that big of a deal if you always print whatever you slice right away, but with a queue (and especially with different configurations in your cluster) this suddenly becomes a thing.
T'would be nice to have an override that the user could put in so that it just goes on and prints without worry. It does create a problem if your material is not readable by way of being in a drybox.
Mayhaps a way to select the proper material instead of being forced to choose 'generic'?
Or, maybe I will just start slapping old, empty spools with NFC tags on it to hoodwink the system.
The upside is that while it chokes on material selection, I am changing plates and applying my stick stuff to the plate. At least you can override it at the end of all that.

So why do you always have to assume malice?
Well I'm a bad bad boy hahahaha
Dunno probably I didn't had coffee when I wrote that. Why a cluster is a problem for a material header check? I mean, if you launch it from cura, not cura connect, why the material is a gcode integrity check? After all, worst thing that can happen is the printer asking for confirmation for correct material. Wouldn't it be easier to design a Blank Material for example? One that could be used for any slicer other than Cura. Now that I think it out loud, that could be a nice feature. A 'Blank' material profile, one that can be used for 'other slicers'.
