After sync, the disabled data types in iPad are not disabled in the Mac laptop sync settings

Project Member Reported by jiewu@chromium.org, Apr 9 2018

Issue description

Device 1:
Mac laptop Chrome Version: (copy from chrome://version)
Google Chrome	66.0.3359.81 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Revision	fb2352fc7d3d530687ff90d6ccc195efd640c1a7-refs/branch-heads/3359@{#569}
OS	Mac OS X
JavaScript	V8 6.6.346.19
Flash	29.0.0.113 /Users/jiewu/Library/Application Support/Google/Chrome/PepperFlash/29.0.0.113/PepperFlashPlayer.plugin

Device 2:
iPad Chrome Version: 66.0.3359.82 (Chrome Beta) 

The disabled data types in iPad are not disabled in the Mac laptop sync settings.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Sign in to Chrome on device 1 and device 2
(2) Make sure that "Settings" data type is checked on all the devices. 
(3) Make sure that "Custom passphrase" is not set in advanced sync settings
(4) On device 2 Chrome change any preference, for example enable/disable "Autofill" or "Bookmarks" in the settings and sync
(5) Wait for some time and then check the laptop

What is the expected result?
The disabled data types in device 2 are disabled in the laptop sync settings after sync. 

What happens instead?
The disabled data types in device 2 are not disabled in the laptop sync settings

This is my first time to take over Chrome Sync testing to be the owner. If there is any step I happened to miss to cause this issue, please kindly let me know. I will include those steps in my future testing.
 
jiewu@ thanks for the report!

Just to confirm:
 - you expect the change in sync settings to _propagate_ to other machines;
 - in reality the change _stays local_ on the machine where you did it?

I think this works as expected. We'll discuss it in the team, though.

As per 830082, the same thing happens also if device 2 = Android tablet.

From the ENG side: works as intended.

Reassigning to PM to clarify if this is really intended (and is intended post-Dice).

Yes I think this behavior is working as expected.
