Currently, customisable switches are only switches, and if you want say have it work like a 6POS, it does create a lot of work

Describe the solution you'd like

Creation of 3 sources (GR1 to GR3) that match the customisable switches groups
Those source will be managed by the system without user intervention.
They will range from -100 to 100 with as many steps as there are switches in the group. If 0 switches in group, then source value is set to 0

If you have model default, all customisable switches are in group 1 and "always on' not enable, you will have
GR1: -100 to 100 in 7 steps
GR2: always 0
GR3: always 0

If you have model default, all customisable switches are in group 1 and "always on' enabled, you will have
GR1: -100 to 100 in 6 steps
GR2: always 0
GR3: always 0

If you have 4 switches in group1 and 2 in group 2 and both groups "always on" disabled:
GR1: -100 to 100 in 5 steps (all off = -100, sw1 = -50, sw2 = 0 , sw3 = 50, sw4 = 100)
GR2 : -100 to 100 in 3 steps (both off = -100, sw5 = 0, sw6 = 100)
GR3: always 0

If you have 4 switches in group1 and 2 in group 2 and group 1 "always on" enabled:
GR1: -100 to 100 in 4 steps (sw1 = -100, sw2 = -33 , sw3 = 33, sw4 = 100)
GR2 : -100 to 100 in 3 steps (both off = -100, sw5 = 0, sw6 = 100)
GR3: always 0

Sounds good.

Although if the group is set to always on then you would get one less step as you can't turn off all the switches in the group.

That's what I'm hoping will happen here... in using this I would want this to simply replace a 6POS properly, so only 6 positions, not 7! 🤣

yes, simply declare group1 always on, and remember also to set your start position either to remember or decide an initial position.
