in LHI, after child info/do you agree and before “who are you asking to pay”

if you say yes agree, you get this:

image (text: The court must order support according to the Michigan Child Support Formula unless the result would be unfair. If the parents reach an agreement about the child support amount, the court can consider the agreement, but it does not have to approve it. You can use the MiChildSupport Calculator on the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services website to find out what the support amount might be in your case. The Michigan Child Support Formula uses: • The parents’ incomes • The number of nights per year (“overnights”) the children spend with each parent • The number of children • Medical costs • Child care costs • Other factors.

If no agree, you get this: image image (Text: You will now be asked questions about how you want the court to order child support to be paid. You may ask the court for what you want, but in most cases the court must order child support based on the Michigan Child Support Formula, so you may not get what you ask for. • The Michigan Child Support Formula uses: • The parents’ incomes • The number of nights per year (“overnights”) the children spend with each parent • The number of children • Health care insurance costs • Child care costs • Other factors.

I'm not sure if the distinctions here are all purposeful or not but they're not currently reflect in the DA version.
