How do I change the step value of the joystick control of the focuser

I'm currently trying to install an Adafruit macropad to change various settings of Indilib.
Move telescope, change telescope speed, change filter, park telescope and others.
An open point is straight, how to change the step value for the joystick control of the focuser.
I changed the property "REL_FOCUS_POSITION" via pyindi for this.
This is the step value that used by the joystick button for focus in/out.
But this also changes the ABS_FOCUS_POSITION at the same time.
Thats not ok :sick: , but clear ;) !

What would be the right way?

Best regards
Tom

I think that is correct: REL_FOCUS_POSITION property is used to move the focuser a relative amount in respect to where it is now; since the focuser moves, also abs position changes. To say: if focuse is at absolute position 100, and you set relative position to 20, it will move to 120. Then you set relative position to -40, and it will move to absolute position 80.
