I will add to the excellent explanation from Lillie that this behavior is not easily understandable because, from a user point of view, we would expect that when we override a setting (toggle on) the option value (figure or boolean value) matches the value that was set in Layout options or Engraving options. But this communication is impossible (for boring technical reasons IIRC)
This had been discussed at length in the early years of Dorico…
