i think the root cause why this option is disabled is: "Heading 1" - "Heading 10" are used for Chapter Numbering. Tools/Chapter Numbering... - Level 1, replace "Heading 1" with "Caption" - [OK] - now "Heading 1" Outline Level should be editable

I wonder, if there should be something in the dialog explaining, why the options are disabled. Let's ask UX team.
Default Header styles are built-in styles in LibreOffice, and Outline for it just is hardcoded. You can create a New style from Header 1 and you'll can change Outline as you want IMHO-> NOTABUG/WONTFIX

We discussed the ticket in the design meeting and agree with the static text idea. It could be "Disabled unless Tools > Chapter Numbering: Paragraph Style is set to None" or "Disabled if the Paragraph Style is linked with Tools > Chapter Numbering" next to the section title "Outline". The static text is ideally hidden when the fields are enabled.
(In reply to Roman Kuznetsov from comment #4) > Default Header styles are built-in styles in LibreOffice, and Outline for it > just is hardcoded. The issue is that when you _modify_ a style the entries under Outline & Numbering are disabled without an unclear reason. It happens for example for "Heading 1" but not "Text Body". Reason is that the paragraph style is linked to a list style. You have to go to Tools > Chapter Numbering and set Paragraph Style for Heading 1 to None in order to be able to change the properties Outline/Numbering in the styles dialog. Our poor solution is to make this relation more clear in the dialog. (Also an interesting aspect for documentation, CC'ing Olivier)
I guess these are relevant: bug 83071 & bug 83369
I added a tooltip "This option is disabled when chapter numbering is assigned to a paragraph style" that is only shown when the controls are disabled. Patch is here https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/66575/
