Remove auto chapter numbering globally?

Question

I am working in structured FrameMaker. I have created a ditabook. In the ditabook the concept titles include chapter numbering. After saving the ditabook as "2022 Book with FrameMaker Components" I attempted unsuccessfully to add auto chapter numbering. As shown below the unsuccessful attempt at numbering added numbers I don't need at the start of each chapter. I know the chapter numbering is configured in paragraph designer, and I can remove it chapter by chapter, but how do I remove the auto chapter numbering for the entire document?

You'll need to disable/remove autonumbering in the title.1 paragraph style in your template. Since you're working with a set of Book with Components files, you might want to save off a chapter of your book as Template.fm or similar, make the change, then import your paragraph styles back into the appropriate .fm files.

NOTE: Your 1.9.6 numbering appears to be typed into the doc, or is otherwise acting as content. This may cause issues if you are authoring in your Book with Components set of files.
