System Information
Operating system: Windows-10-10.0.19043-SP0 64 Bits
Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650/PCIe/SSE2 NVIDIA Corporation 4.6.0 NVIDIA 551.23

Blender Version
Broken: version: 4.0.2, branch: blender-v4.0-release, commit date: 2023-12-05 07:41, hash: 9be62e85b727
Worked: (newest version of Blender that worked as expected)

Short description of error
X-Ray in Object Mode is generally not supported in Rendered mode, so when using Workbench it gives you this error, when it can technically have X-Ray, since it does use it in Solid mode. It makes it hard to use Workbench as secondary "view" in hard-surface modeling.

@Noah-Pinales did you progress in this issue? I already have it solved, but I didn't say anything here before starting to work on it. Do you mind if I make the PR?

@Fermin-Lozano I have made some progress, but if you already have it solved, you can make the PR.

Thanks for the report, however this is done deliberately as enabling the viewport xray setting would introduce nondeterministic behavior.

There will then be two options to set the xray of the workbench rendered viewport (in the viewport and in the render property panel), with unclear priority which one should and would be used.

The actual solution is to add a preset to the viewport shading options to let users quickly select other options. This however isn't high on our priority list.

Sorry that this issue was confirmed and tagged as a first good issue.

I will close this issue as it is not a bug, but more a todo.
