I understand your request and why/when this would make sense.
But, looking at your list, there may be an alternative.
You have quite a lot of sync jobs that ran 82 days ago.
If you always run those sync jobs in combination, you can define a single sync job that has multiple left-right location pairs (using the green "+"-icon in front of the left-right folder pair definition).
You can use global Compare, Filter and Sync settings (the icons above the left-right pair(s)) that apply to all left-right pairs, and, if necessary, also local Compare, Filter and Sync settings (via the icons in between the left- and right location, once you have multiple left-right pairs) that, in addition to the global settings, apply on a per left-right pair basis.
You can then save such multiple left-right pair sync configuration as a new, combined sync configuration. This may help prevent cluttering of your Configuration list.

IMAGINE that every folder has 50+GB of data when combined Time and processing power is wasted.
Can you forget for a moment the Last sync date, because i have cloned this config.
Jobs run very very often indeed.
The whole purpose is to have separete folders -> to manage better jobs .
You need to split them in little parts for efficiency-not combine them in bigger and waste cup,time,energy
If folders were present we can have 100+ jobs and not clutter the main panel .
* You approach it like this -> combine the little problems into a big one :) it does work like this.
* We need to divide not combine , thats why we need a simple solution , and not create a bigger problem with your approach.

Would also like something similar.
Not always needed to compare every folderpair at the same time if you only want to update changes of one or a few current important subfolder tasks.
Feature Request:
- show collapse/expandable tree of subfolder jobs of folder pairs under the SyncSettings name to quickly select one or more folder pairs.
- show last sync next to name of subitem.
- root syncsettings name should show the longest time since last full sync of all subitems/folder pairs.
or like already asked.
Possibility of selection of multiple syncsettings tasks to load multiple folder pair combinations to run a long running batch job without manually starting the next job. Maybe easier but this could clutter the SyncSettings job view.

Selecting multiple configurations dynamically and color grouping solves most of the problem, no?

ah i see. Have missed that. Second version already doable.
Until now just used basic folder pair sync. Just recently started to discover all possibilities 👍
Got it. Have to split folder pairs into smaller sub jobs instead of having full device jobs with many folder pairs.
Collapse-/expandable job tree/grouping of multiple jobs would be just icing on the cake.
