Description
When using the FormattingContainer, any changes the user makes on the formatting panel are only recorded in the DataViewModel.metadata and can not be differentiated per container.
In previous API versions, changes would be recorded in the DataViewModel.categorical.values.source.objects, recording any changes from default per value.
This behaviour seems to have changed in the API version 6.0.0
How do I detect in which FormattingContainerItem the user has made changes?

Research direction
Start by examining the FormattingContainer and FormattingContainerItem data flow, especially DataViewModel.metadata and DataViewModel.categorical.values.source.objects, and compare behavior before and after API version 6.0.0. Done means documenting or verifying how changes can be attributed to each FormattingContainerItem, with the relevant API behavior or limitation clearly established.
