These configurations require the printer somehow communicating with Cura what material and nozzle size is currently configured on the printer. The Ultimaker 3, S5, S3 and 2+ Connect all communicate with Cura through a bespoke protocol, either via the Ultimaker Cloud or locally (AFAIK, the latter is not available with the 2+ Connect; that printer only supports the cloud connection). The Cura-part of that bespoke communication can be found here: https://github.com/Ultimaker/Cura/tree/main/plugins/UM3NetworkPrinting
You are going to have to write (or extend) a plugin that communicates with the printer. That plugin will have a subclass of the PrinterOutputDevice, and that subclass needs to implement a uniqueConfigurations property which returns a list of PrinterConfigurationModel instances.

Additionally, scarf seams have been introduced alongside even more print settings and improvements. Check out the rest of this article to find out the details on all of that and more
