Hey dear reader!
I'm writing my Bachelor Paper and obviously, a Table of Contents is required. Unfortunately, despite setting the table of contents to right allign page numbers and to use the dot tab leader, when I generate it (or go into a submenu like TOC levels, these two setting automatically reset (the right allign numbers only on TOC level 2, not 1) This is a huge problem as both of these settings are university requirements and could cost me a lot of points if I do not manage to fix it. I hope somebody here knows something, I have provided screenshots below.
Thanks in advance!

The table of contents is formatted with a set of styles that begin with "TOC". To fix the second level, open the TOC 2 style and set a right-aligned tab set to the right margin. Please post again if you need help finding the TOC 2 style or setting a tab in it.
Thank you for your answer. This has partly helped, enabling both settings for TOC1 and TOC2 separately achieved this result. As you can see TOC1 is fine now, however, the issue with TOC2 remains.
You must clear the 2.5 cm tab (click on it in the list box, not in the text area above the list box) and click the Clear button). Then create a tab stop at the right margin measurement -- in an A4 page, that's 15.9 cm.
The tabs that are already in the table of contents should automatically appear with the right-aligned numbers and the dot leaders.
If you used one of the automatic TOC entries in the References > Table of Contents menu, these values would be set automatically for you. It's much harder to try to set them manually.
That worked (15cm in my case), thank you both!
