Is your feature request related to a problem?

I can select different bed type on my custom printer, but can't edit them, rendering them useless.

Which printers will be beneficial to this feature?

Klipper, Others

Describe the solution you'd like

Please an an Edit button for bed types so we can configure the Z-Offset etc between different types, eg printing on textured PEI needs more squish (smaller z-offset) than Smooth PEI.

Describe alternatives you've considered

My current workaround is to create multiple printers with different z-offsets, which causes its own problems.

Fair enough 👍

I, too, would benefit from this. With a bunch of P-Flat, PEY, and a magnetic probe it would be super useful to be able to add extra plates too so you can change out the bed texture in the preview window as well as add custom gcode depending on the plate like which bed model for eddy current probes to use. Thanks in advance if you get to this!

With all the new build surfices popular now, this would be a very good feature. This allows me to load a Cartographer model from my start gcode based on the build plate I select. i'm sure the same would be true for beacon. I run an if statement using curr_bed_type to set the model.
