Describe the bug
When printing with more than one extruder, I can't find any working way to especify which extruder prints what. All config options seem broken. Also, if you don't manually select the extruder to match de default extruder for each feature, some retractions are missing when going from one feature to the next, even if it doesn't honour the extruder selected.

To Reproduce

  1. Have a printer with more than one extruder
  2. Load any stl
  3. Select a main extruder for the model
  4. Go to config and change extruders depending on feature (perimeter, supports...) or add modifiers
  5. Slice and check results

>> Project File <<
bug.zip

Expected behavior
A clear way to print multimaterial objects. Multiextruder config needs a "default" value for each feature which should be the main extruder selected, and then you should be able to override the features' extruder you need.

Screenshots
Example 1:
Set extruder 2 as main extruder, then config extruder 3 for supports:
Extruder_2+support_3_config
Result: everything is printed with extruder 2
Extruder_2+support_3

Example 2:
Set extruder 2 as main extruder, then add modifiers to use extruder 1 as supports: Everything is printed with extruder 1
Extruder_as_Modifiers

Example 3:
All set to the same extruder (2)
Only_Extruder_2_config
It prints everything with extruder 2 (the only config that is usable)
Only_Extruder_2

Desktop (please complete the following information):

  • OS: Windows 10, last version
  • Version 2.3.56.6 (Nightly from actions)

Additional context
Printer is a custom toolchanger with 4 extruders
