It looks as though configs are bound to individual devices. I'm guessing this is achieved with the serial= attribute. Is it possible to use wildcards in the serial= value so that any device with the same name will work? I have 2 identical devices (Octavi clones) that I would like to work using the same config. If this is not feasible, is it a case of copying the profile and conducting search/replace, on the Pro Micro serial numbers then having to load the associated profile manually? The later option would be suboptimal for my use-case.

what are octavi clones? like two octavis?
wary storm
Wildcards aren't supported
You could just pick the other device in the orphaned serials and it will map them over
If they will never be connected at the same time you could flash custom firmware with a hard coded serial so they both have the same one

Custom MobiFlight f/w?
wary storm
why do you want them to both work with the same config? What's the scenario?
lusty steeple
I'm not overly keen on maintaining 2 or more profiles
If I make changes to one, those same changes will need to be propagated over N profiles
spring trout
no
you can use a built-in function in MobiFlight
like @wary storm said.
You should see a dialog pop up ... maybe not, because it is a Joystick. The function is missing for Joysticks.
but it will come at some point.

I haven't coded it as a joystick
I have received the serial popup. Just not sure what the ramifications were
spring trout
well then you should see the dialog popup. simply reassign the serial and hit OK
it has a text that describes what it is for.
lusty steeple
Okay, I'll have a play around with that
OOI, what does that do under the hood?
Does it change all of the serial numbers in the profile?
spring trout
yes
