Back in December 2018 I was privileged to be a reviewer for the FC manual before it was released.
During this process, I made the following suggestion to Matt:

My follow-up:
I still think this would be a fantastic ability to have with the FCs.
A recent thread where this solution would be the perfect fit just came up and reminded me, so I figured I'd make a formal wish
During this process, I made the following suggestion to Matt:
On another note, I think it would be great to add one more function: the ability to dynamically assign the External controller for a given FC pedal jack.
As I'm sure you know, this is something requested a lot for the Axe Fx II and MFC. I could do this on my Gordius controller when I was using it and it's super powerful.
Matt's reply:
I will work on an implementation plan for dynamic pedal controller assignments.
Can you outline a full scenario for how you'd use these so I don't miss anything?
My follow-up:
For the dynamic pedal assignment, here's what I used to do with the Gordius:
In my preset, I have both a Wah and Whammy set for auto engage. Each is assigned to be controlled by a different controller. I assigned an IA switch to toggle between two different controller pedals.
This allowed me to use my expression pedal to control my Wah by default but at the press of a button, I can then control the Whammy. No need to change scenes, use any fancy routing, etc. Simple.
I can imagine options to allow selection of a specific port -> external mapping, a toggle feature and an increment/decrement feature. Similar to the preset, scene and channel functions.
Hopefully that makes sense? I think it's pretty self-explanatory.
I still think this would be a fantastic ability to have with the FCs.
