Not under MS Windows in recent LO Dev 24.2 (but yes in 7.6.0.3); the
sub-entries are not shown when the Field entry is grayed out. Showing the
sub-entries (in gray when adequate, as in LO 7.6.0.3) is more clear for (new)
users. IOW, keep "Field" grayed out when relevant, but also show the
sub-entries (also in gray when relevant).

It would make the entry harder to discover and to learn about it, as this
report shows. The feature is already not immediately understood (or at least
how to use it, requiring edit mode); let's not make it harder.

In the meantime, we have now shown a regression in UX in LO Dev 24.2 vs 7.6.
