Can't change the severity of a dotnet_naming_style

[SilverPh0ton]

Version Used:
Visual Studio v16.1.1
dotnet v 2.2.300

Steps to Reproduce:
Add this to the .editorconfig file:
dotnet_naming_style.private_field_style.capitalization = camel_case
dotnet_naming_style.private_field_style.required_prefix = _
dotnet_naming_style.private_field_style.severity = warning

Expected Behavior:
Private field name with no '_' at the beginning should trigger a warning,

Actual Behavior:
Private field name with no '_' at the beginning trigger an error,

@SilverPh0ton Does your project have "treat warnings as errors" enabled? Can you post the full content of your .editorconfig file?

[SilverPh0ton]

We plan to have a "treat warning as errors" on release mode but even with dotnet_naming_style.private_field_style.severity = suggestion
it doesn't work

I have made a reop project if you want to take a look to see what's going on https://github.com/SilverPh0ton/Editorconfig_dotnet_naming_style_severity

@SilverPh0ton It turns out the editor is following the severity given in .editorconfig:

dotnet_naming_rule.private_fields_should_be_camel_case.severity = error

Severity is a property of dotnet_naming_rule, not dotnet_naming_style.

I'm going to close this as answered, but please consider adding a 👍 vote on #19055 if you are interested in having better editor support for these cases.
