@Jeff
I can think of some ways to improve the situation so clearly-wrong info isn't displayed, and I alluded to some ideas above. KiCad will know if the Spice_Model property is present or not. And if it is, other properties which have conflicting info (that loses) could be hidden or overwritten or otherwise notated so the user can tell the info is old and stale.
I do see the analog you're making: The UI says some zone connection is selected but the user can see from the board canvas that the zone connection doesn't adhere to those connection parameters. Probably another good place to show in the UI that an override is happening. Maybe change the color of the text or textblock background, put the value in parenthesis or brackets, force the values to be in sync by overriding the value at the "lower level" and using a blocking dialog to alert the user the value can't be changed, etc.
