I can confirm this. I have a 2024 Barbarian and dropped it a Breastplate Armor on him, which turned the Unarmored Defense off. But I could turn it back on without removing the breastplate from equipped status, and when I did his CON bonus was applied (along with DEX) to the breastplate's armor. Clearly a bug. And I agree, confusing for a beginner. However, since the sheet is still in active development and this does appear to be a bug rather than a feature request, it might be more effective to report this on the thread for the 2024 sheet in the Character Sheets and Compendiums forum.
