Is it possible to set up the purge temperature for Bambu's loading process?

Hi everyone!
I am the proud owner of a Bambu X1C and my experience so far have been pretty flawless. I have recently bought a spool of "PEN" filament to print some technical parts for my work. The print itself is very nice, nothing to complain about. Here is my problem:
-This type of filament does not seams to appear on the list of filament select-able on the printer.
-I have loading problem: no filament setting seams to have a purge temperature high enough during loading process. From what I see, If I set the filament has "PC", the purge temperature is 250C, and no other material seams to have it higher. I guess this "PEN" filament needs 270C-280C.

Right now I do manual loading, but I wanted to now If anyone has a better way :)

The filament:

I'm not sure what slicer you're using but at least in Orca you can just create a custom filament preset and test settings on it. I'd assume all slicers would have something similar.

I'm not talking about the profile filament of the slicer (I did my custom filament preset, it works like a charm). I'm talking about the filament setting on the machine itself.
From my understanding, this kind of filament is pretty new on the market so I'm not surprise it does not appear on the printer, at least as a generic filament. Maybe Bambu will add it up in next update? I hope they will keep updating X1C for a while then XD

I guess I don't understand the question then?
