--- Comment #5 from Heiko Tietze <heiko.tietze at documentfoundation.org> ---
I miss the expectation. You have H1 with a latin numbers, H2 uses lower case
arabic characters as numbering with only 1 sublevel, and H3, H4 none. Changing
via Tools > Chapter Numbering (CN) or Format > B&N is not different unless you
apply an unordered list (bullets), which can't be used in CN. If I use bullets
on H3 it's not taken into the ToC, however MSO does that. The round-trip shows
both bullet on the heading and in the ToC after updating the ToC the whole
entry is missing!

No question that this function is difficult in general. But we don't make it
easier to access if we remove a shortcut. So how about bending the B&N function
to CN in case of a heading? We could keep the buttons and show some kind of
familiar dialog (ideally the dialog still shows list of presets filtered for
CN, see bug 120905).

The user expectation is to click a button and the software handles the
internals. Meaning B&N is done as list style for ordinary paragraphs and as CN
in case of headings. So UX-wise we rather remove the CN dialog than B&N.
