HDRP Light shadows switch Type from Soft to Hard after re-enabling the Shadow Map option

Steps to reproduce:

1. Create a 3D HDRP template project
2. Select the Sun object in the OutdoorsScene
3. In the Inspector window, right-click on the Enable option under the Shadow Map option and select the "Search Same Property Value" option
4. In the Search window that opens, observe that Shadow Type is set to Soft
5. Close the Search window
6. Disable and re-enable the Shadow Map for the Sun object
7. Repeat Step 3 and observe the Shadow type

Actual results: Shadow type is set to Hard after re-enabling the Shadow Map option

Expected results: Re-enabling the Shadow Map option does not change the Shadow Type
