Constant power happens with other motors during flux weakening and also make sense. The torque characteristic is important then selecting acceleration. In *ini file there are MAX_VELOCITY and MAX_ACCELERATION variables. This is interesting because if motors with flux weakening is used for axis it will not be possible to use full torque at low speed or there might be following errors at high speed then enough torque is not available.
