Look at Contains for Heading 1.

What is the meaning of "Outline" ?

What is the meaning of + 1  (or + n)?

Or try this:

1. Right-click on Heading in Style sidebar and choose "New"
2. Change Outline Level to "Level 3"
3. Press "Apply"
4. Select Organizer tab.

Result:  

Contains:
  3

What does 3 mean?

The issue here is to "give accurate information that can be interpreted
meaningfully". Has nothing to do with "thought it would be nice".

I trust that your objection based on length  is not independent of consequences
for understanding.

> "I had some problem myself
I did have those problems initially when I encountered them (at least in the
sense of being uncertain about their meaning at first glance, and having to try
to work out an interpretation - aided by pretty good knowledge about the
relevant their likely meaning.)

If a user did not know that "Outline" is what "Chapter Numbering" used to be
called, the meaning would be impossible to guess/interpret (and impossible to
find in the dialog).   Same problem with "3".

The Contains information is needed to know what will happen if the Standard
(Set to Parent) button is pressed.  The present information would not be useful
in that situation.
