LrC import settings on RAW files is enabling adjustments in Colour Denoise which is not needed

Question

Hi, i've noticed Manual Noise Colour adjustments and sharpening being applied to all my images when importing RAW files to LrC and I wish to disable this. I have 'Camera Settings' chosen and on my camera it is set at Standard. This is under the Detail option in the Develop mode in LrC.

I've also tried to create my own preset and unchecked all boxes, but it still adjusts the colour with denoise to the point i'm losing a lot of detail and animals feathers and fur is looking plastic with no detail. Also, when i adjust the sliders to zero, it increases the noise/grain even when iso was 100 so it appears to be introducing noise to the image. Can the colour denoise option be disabled on import?

This is happening on both my Dell laptop and MAC desktop, with both Nikon Z8 and Nikon D850 RAW files.

I'm really hoping this can be fixed, as it's taking me a heap of time to fix the automated adjustments LrC is imposing on my raw images.

The settings that shown in yourscreenshot are the default settings. It worked as designed and isn't a bug.

Workaround: Goto the develop modi and set in the Detailed section the Sharpening, Luminance and Color sliders to zero, Then create a preset, deactivate all options and mark only the Detail options (see screenshot).

Applying this preset on import your pictures.
