Custom Render settings for Renderfarms
I often need to use render farms and find myself having to tweak various settings within my blend file and then re-upload the file to be rendered again. It would be great to be able to create custom adjustable fields under the render tab that were linked to various settings across the blend file that you feel might need tweaking (for example, linked to Geometry Nodes Modifier inputs). Of course this idea would need the cooperation of the various renderfarms that support blender rendering, because the idea would be that these custom settings could be adjusted from their user interface so that you would not need to re-upload the file.

Without a render farm service being offered directly by Blender, I'm not sure this could be easily implemented. It looks like something a render farm could do with an add-on
I believe what is being requested is the ability to change the value of any control depending on whether a render farm is being used. I'm not clear if Blender supports re-evaluating settings depending on a "context", if this is supported then a lot more than just changing depending on the renderfarm could be supported, in particular multi-shot workflow.
Yes thinking about this sounds really good, but figuring out a way to implement it in a sensible way is very hard for me 😅.
I'm seeing more and more people having issues on how the render settings are not fast to change, perhaps custom fields or presets can be the way to go.
On a completely unrelated note, it's amazing to see you on this forum. You have done amazing work and I'm sure having your influence on this platform can only benefit the community!
Yes thinking about it further, it might be more practical to have it implemented in the renderfarm addon side of things. Thanks for your comments.
