[Feature Request]: Ability to alter connection profile in "Connect to a Meshtastic device" conversation

[roberthadow]

Prerequisites

• I have searched existing issues to ensure this feature hasn't already been requested
• I have checked the documentation to verify this feature doesn't already exist

Problem Statement

CRUD - create, read, update, delete

For the same of completeness, please add a method that allows one to update the device connection profile.

• We have a nice create method "Add Connection"

• We have a super read method: "Connect"

• We have a functional delete method: "Delete"

• There is no update method.

If you want to keep the device profile, but change the USB port, you have to delete the profile and create a new one.

If there were an update method, then one could also add a copy function. Copy the model, change a couple of details, and you have another profile without starting from scratch.

Proposed Solution

Add to the meatball menu an update option and a copy option.

On copy, append " NEW" to the longname of the newly created profile.

And while the code block is opened, either fix or get rid of the "Never connected" notification.

Current Alternatives

I delete the existing record and create a new one. I hope my browser remembers stuff I've previously typed in the same fields so I can just select from options offered.

Importance

Nice to have

Additional Context

No response

@roberthadow I wanted to mention you know its possible to have multiple connection cards targeting the USB port or Bluetooth?

Hello @danditomaso --

A couple of questions for an expert. When it's time to select a USB port for flash or to create a connection card, I am presented with several options:

• I get a list of OS-supplied ports of the form ttyS99. I ignore them
• CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller (ttyUSB0) - Paired
• CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller (ttyUSB1) - Paired
• CP2102 USB to UART Bridge Controller (ttyUSB9) - Paired
• USB JTAG/serial debug unit (tty/acm) {when you do some three-hand magic with the PRG button and USB cable)
• heltec_wifi_lora_32v4(16 MB FLASH, 2 MB PSRAM)(ttyA... truncated

How is one to know which one to select without unhooking every USB cable save one?

It's news to me that I can create a connection card with Bluetooth. When I try using the Chrome browser, I get these messages:

Web Bluetooth not supported

This connection type requires [Web Bluetooth](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Web_Bluetooth_API#browser_compatibility). Please use a supported browser, like Chrome or Edge.

Many thankis.
