Store/remember SNMP community

It seems that there's nowhere to store a preferred SNMP community string - or RDM doesn't remember that last one used.

Can we request this as a feature?

Hello,
I'm not an expert in SNMP. What is the community string?

Hi,

The community string is the string which defaults to 'public'. It behaves a little like a password for accessing the SNMP device.

Most organisations will change the community string on their SNMP devices to something other than 'public' as a layer of security to stop people randomly connecting.

Hello,

In the SNMP entry type, there should already be a field for Community, could you verify:
