Constant combinator use/setting

Hello all,

as i am setting up a loadings tation for the cargorocket in Space Exploration which i later want to use for train loading station, i come across two missing thinks for the constant combinator....

Firstly i was not able to name or label the constant combinator (only work around was putting in a signal to respective label, but there one needs to be very carefull not to mix up signals with this)
Secoundly i searched for a method to set the constant combinator like the requester-chest with recips. I tried to set it like the requestor-chest from an assembler with needed recipe and i tried to set the requester chest and then change it to the constant combinator; but both faild me.......

Reason is that i place combinators which contains needed resources and when switched they send a signal to the mall to insert the needed items into cargo
But for now i need to set every included item by hand to the constant combinator and this seemed not the factorian way, especially when the possibility exist for use with the requester chest.....

Someone knows a good method or i may carry it over to suggestion ?

Const combinator have got no "capacity" like chest or assembler, so yea, first time by hand, then just copy paste the combinator.

Btw if I copy a recipe from assembler to req chest - how many items will it be set to?

But it will be very tedious when you want to setup all assembers and machines available in the Space Exploration mod....

You just need to make the combinator recieve the same data as the requester chest.....
