• OS Version: 26.2.0
• CPU Architecture: arm64

Bug Description:
If you have a setting configured in a workflow plugin, and try to set it at the project level or set it when opening with options, that setting is ignored and the SettingsUserScope setting is used.

Steps To Reproduce:

1. Paste the code below into a plugin.
2. Enable the workflow at the project level or using open with options
3. Open a raw file
4. Look at the logs: note that the boolean is False.
5. Close the file
6. Open project settings or open with options
7. Set the boolean to true
8. Close settings
9. Open a raw file
10. Look at the logs: note that the boolean is False

Expected Behavior:
Workflow plugin obeys SettingsProjectScope and obeys the settings when you open with options.
