How do I set the Filament type in the Printer to ABS-GF? Am I stuck changing the Filament in the Slicer Settings to ABS and not ABS-GF?

I was trying to print some SirayaTech Fiberheart ABS-GF. They are known for their engeneering Filaments, and provide settings for their Resins and Filaments. Resins have Profiles for multible slicers and printers. In the case of FDM printers, its in the form of an Orca saved .3mf. This gives you the settings, mostly speeds are relevant TBH, but more importantly, it has the Filament saved and we clever ones (Ok, not that Clever) rename it, and set the dependencies.

On to the Meat and Potatoes of the Question, The FIlament is set as ABS-GF in the profile. I cant find that name on the printer under any of the Spool settings and its throwing a Filament mismatch error. I got around that by changing it from ABS-GF to ABS, re slicing, and resending it, but it has me woundering is there a way that doesnt feel like a band aid to get the filament matching properly? A way to add new profiles or am I just calling Filaments by a more generic name in its settings to work around the printer being smarter then its own good?

Basic Info Tl;Dr K2 Plus on 1.1.5.2, CFS on 1.2.2 Are others showing the same Version of CFS firmware on the K2 Plus?

So, My CFS is giving me retraction issues. It likes to dig into some filaments. It seems random sometimes. I was checking my CFS and K2 Plus Firmware. I remember my CFS being 1.2.2 before the 1.1.5.2 Update, and not changing after. This is memory and I am unsure

I found this post from about 3 months ago, shortly before the K2 Plus new 1.1.5.2 update, showing his on his plus where CFS Firmware 1.1.3 and the ones on his Pro where 1.2.2. Mine is 1.2.2 on a Plus. I'm looking to see what others say their CFS version is. Did the CFS get a Firmware update with 1.5.2 or do I have a Mismatch?

I had assumed so. If you thought about it, its something you might come to the same conclusion.

Tl;Dr It's wired the same

Got the 1.5m cable for my K2 Pmus. With the riser, the current 1m cfs cable disconnects of I have to fiddle with the CFS. You know, for that retraction issue it has halfway through a print.

Well, I have a new cable, and it can't go on the k2 yet due to a print in progress that should of been done if It HADNT HAD a RETRACTION ISSUE!

Its fine. I'm fine.

Anyways, the SparkX is sitting there, done and happy as a Clam... I wounder...

Powered it down, switched cables, powered it back on, and it did not know the difference. Spark X showing me the CFS Lite. The CFS Lite showing full lights.

So, there you go. It seems obvious, but its Creality. Sometimes large company's reinvent the wheel when they are making a wheel already because proprietary company jumbo jumbo
