Hi Jean-François Verdoodt , thank you for this feedback.  It seems that these settings were never extended to the project automation integration.  It seems to be the same for 2024 :-( 
I'll create an API change proposal request and followup with the dev team.  good catch (y)

Hi Patrick Andrew Hartnett ,

thanks for your answer. That means that as long the change is not accepted  and developed this cannot be done in any way except user changing it manually ?

Hi Jean-François Verdoodt , I don't have any work arounds for this as it depends on extending these settings from the project automation api.  However, there is nothing stopping you for attempting to access these settings from the internal project via reflection.  I don't recommend this btw and won't provide any support on this, but here is a snippet to get you started if you decide to go down that road. 

var project = new FileBasedProject(projectInfo);
var internalProjectType = typeof(FileBasedProject).GetProperty("InternalProject",
    BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);
var projectInstance = internalProjectType?.GetValue(project);
