this property can be set from BMC redfish or by OS or UEFI menu.
If a user changes this property from the OS or UEFI menu, then the redfish value will be overriding the user configuration.

In order to prevent this, we thought of having a pending setting URI for each boot option where the user will submit the request to PATCH "BootOptionEnabled" property to a desired value. This pending setting will be cleared when the setting is applied by the UEFI redfish client.

Is this possible?

It's very similar to BIOS attributes; I would expect the view from the setup menu and the view from Redfish to show the same data. So, if a user changes a setting in the setup menu, the same change will appear in Redfish. I can understand there are architectural limitations where the value won't be in sync immediately.

Using a settings resource is a very reasonable approach here, especially given the strong ties with UEFI. I haven't looked to see how shipping products do this, but if I were to do this myself, I'd go down that same path.
