It is fine for me, to use "automatic" depending on writing direction and
binding edge in ODT. Then the dialog would need a setting "automatic", which is
the only available option for odt. But I think, for Word manually setting
gutter position is not needed too, see below.

Problematic is a page layout with alternating "left page" and "right page".
Make these setting
Style Right page: left margin 15mm (to be inner margin),
                  right margin 30mm (to be outer margin),
                  gutter 20mm,
                  option unchecked (gutter to be left)
Style Left page: left margin 30mm (to be outer margin),
                 right margin 15mm (to be inner margin),
                 gutter 20mm,
                 option checked (gutter to be right)

(Attaching an example file does not help here, because the margins and the
check box is changed on opening. You need to newly create it to see the
problem.)

"Save a copy as" to docx. Opening the docx file in Word gets a setting "gutter
right" for the even pages, but in Word it needs to be "gutter left" same as for
odd pages. Currently the exported position is wrong for odd pages.

My suggestion is to remove this checkbox.
