[libreoffice-users] TOC cannot obtain a consistant display of items

Good afternoon
I am sorry to bother the list, but I am writing a book and
have been toiling literally for weeks now, but still cannot manage to 
make the "Table of Contents" function work.
At least not properly.
Here is what I did.
Windows 10, LO 7.6 and 24.8
I am trying to put a TOC that shows ONLY the chapter names at the 
beginning of the book, somehow managed to do that now,
and then separate TOCs showing the sections in that particular chapter.
Defined (1) chapter heading to indicate the chapter breaks
(2) different style for a subheading given the name of the chapter - so 
to prevent it appear in the main TOC twice (that always happened in the 
beginning)
(3) heading for individual sections within each chapter
(4) heading for subsections in each chapter

These styles use too big font and/or spacing, so I created separate 
styles to represent the above styles in the TOC.
Have registered the four styles under Tools -> Heading numbering.

In my attempts at setting up the TOC for individual chapters I selected 
the styles that should appear in the TOC both under
"Type" and "Styles"

For 1-2 chapters I think I succeeded, but in other chapters I get:
chapter title followed by the TOC, but at the top of the TOC there is 
again the chapter name = redundant.
As I said, for 1-2 chapter TOCs I managed to get something WITHOUT the 
chapter name (in a funny style),
but trying to apply the exact same setting for other chapters gives me 
the choice
1) TOC with redundant chapter name or
2) TOC showing ONLY the redundant chapter name.

I tried just about every conceivable setting / combination of these 
styles, but just cannot get rid of those redundant chapter names.
Printed the documentation, underlining things probably important, but 
probably I am just too stupid.

If anybody could point me to this ONE trick, I would be eternally grateful.
Thank you
Thomas
