SmartPorts and Automation

I'm only learning about SmartPorts automation now. Tested a few things recently.

 

Is it possible that when first manually setting a SmartPorts profile on a port, and then later using an automation to do this automatically on the whole switch, it is not visibile in the dashboard ?
 
This is a port that was manually done first

This is a port that was done using the automation

Should the automation not override the previous manually set Smartports config (if applicable on that port) ? 

Is there a way to remove the this SmartPorts config so that it gets corrected by the automation ?

 

 Switches are MS-130X

If you go to a port and edit it, you can see what has been applied (in my case from the Organisation/Smart Ports/Automations screen:

Or are you seeing something different?

I can see which Port Profile has been applied, that's not the problem. In fact, everything works.

 

I only find it "logical" that when first applying a PortProfile manually, and then later applying one through an automation, and it would apply because of the triggers in that automation, the latter would be visible on the switch. But that's not the case.

 

If there is a way to "undo" the previous manual port profile, and then have the Automation take over, that would be helpful too.

 

I'm also confused as to why there is a check button next to Port Profile Enabled... If I disable that, would it disable Port Profiles altogether, or just the manual ones ?
