What happened?

Is it possible to boot OpenSUSE Live ISO in the persistent mode? There is no guide for it in https://www.ventoy.net/en/plugin_persistence.html

Probably this could be a hint: https://github.com/cyberorg/live-fat-stick/blob/f2d77ed176283b0142557c9a556c477dc907ec60/live-grub-stick#L279 or maybe this: https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/openSUSE:Factory:Live/livecd-openSUSE ?

Here is a working config in case anyone need it. You can use it like this https://www.ventoy.net/en/plugin_grubmenu.html

set root=$vtoy_iso_part
set iso_dir="/ISO"
set iso_pattern="openSUSE-*-Live-*.iso"

for isofile in $iso_dir/$iso_pattern; do
    if [ -e "$isofile" ]; then
        regexp --set=isoname "$iso_dir/(.*)" "$isofile"

        menuentry "Live openSUSE (persistent) - $isoname" {
            loopback loop $isofile
            echo Loading kernel...
            linux (loop)/boot/x86_64/loader/linux iso-scan/filename=$isofile splash=silent quiet systemd.show_status=yes root=live:CDLABEL=openSUSE_Tumbleweed_KDE_Live rd.live.image rd.live.overlay.persistent rd.live.overlay.cowfs=ext4 rd.live.cowfile.mbsize=4096
            echo Loading initrd...
            initrd (loop)/boot/x86_64/loader/initrd
        }
    fi
done

menuentry 'Return to previous menu [Esc]' --class=vtoyret VTOY_RET {
    echo 'Return ...'
}
