System Response

The higher-level characteristics dependent on the selected
characteristics have also been moved, even if you did not select them.
This is due to the following reason: when a characteristic is changed,
all lower-level characteristics dependent on it also need to be changed
to maintain consistency. Likewise, when a lower-level characteristic is
moved to <LS>"not to be changed"</>, its corresponding higher-level
characteristic must equally be moved there.
