Description

If you scale a point symbol size with the data-defined override feature, and you'd later want to display the scales in the legend or layer tree, you'll be able to get a sized symbol legend only if you used the data-defined assistant. Using an existing field or an expression (even when you copy the one returned by the assistant dialog) does nothing: the legend ignores the scaling and seems to be triggered by only the assistant dialog.
This makes the feature less interesting and a bit shaky.
