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.

Cura 5.7 is here and it brings a handy new workflow improvement when using Thingiverse and Cura together, as well as additional capabilities for Method series printers, and a powerful way of sharing print settings using new printer-agnostic project files! Read on to find out about all of these improvements and more.
S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
(Sorry, was out of office when this released)
This update is for...
All UltiMaker S series
New features
Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
