Turn off auto delete conversations

I accidentally clicked (under General-iPad storage) to auto delete conversations after a year without realizing that you can’t un-Click it. Will going under Messages and selecting Keep Message Forever negate this step? Why can’t it be undone? Thank you.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 15

Once done, it's done. You can change the setting as you've learned. But messages deleted previously are deleted.
