Login Screen (SDDM) - behavior

SUMMARY
Newly installed system, so also newly created user with default session, so Wayland.
I try to set up for him automatically log. To do this I checked "Automatically log in" and got informational tooltip message with button: "Open KDE Wallet Settings". Firstly I needed  to change value of option "with session" from "Plasma (X11)" to "Plasma (Wayland)". I suppose this is a bug, because if user login with Wayland then here should be also set "Wayland"

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Newly created user on fresh system
2. Open  "Color & Themes" -> "Login Screen SDDM" -> "Behavior..."
3. Mark option "Automatically log in"
4. Look at option "with session"

OBSERVED RESULT
"Plasma (X11)"

EXPECTED RESULT
"Plasma (Wayland)"
