Yep, I can add a message that it would be set when the scan if
enabled, in fact I don't think it is a good practice to change things
like discoverable in the middle of the discovery since may interfere
with what the controller is scheduling over the air, but since we
allow thing like UUID and RSSI it makes sense to allow everything to
be changed.
