Attempting to override "settinglevel" from advanced settings (.xml) does not work. - izprtxqkft - 2024-02-19

As described in the wiki I have advanced settings overrides for various settings so that when I do a new install all the redundant settings are already set and cannot be changed.
- https://kodi.wiki/view/Advancedsettings.xml#guisettings.xml_Setting_Conversion

So far this is the only setting I have tried that has not worked.

Tried the normal override

Code:
<setting id="general.settinglevel">3</setting>

Then tried variations (that I was already sure wouldn't work but tried any way)

Code:
<setting id="settinglevel">3</setting>

Code:
<settinglevel>3</settinglevel>

Code:
<general>
    <settinglevel>3</settinglevel>
</general>

Kodi (21.0-ALPHA1 (20.90.101) Git:20230321-124023d6ff). Platform: Linux x86 64-bit
Provider: None, self compiled from github master branch.

(I didn't try other versions as I expect this has never worked)
