Short description of error
When appending grease pencil brushes, they will be added to the file as a "fake user", even if this option is unchecked in the append window.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Open default 2D animation file
{nav File > append > fakeuserbug.blend > Brush > Shift select the custom brushes (start with "pp_")}

Change brush from `Active tool & Workspace settings` (notice it has been added as a fake user)

append brushes from another file
They will be added as a fake user, whether or not the "fake user" box is checked in the append window

fakeuserbug.blend

Hi, thanks for the report. I am not able to reproduce this on latest master and 3.0.0 beta (bd734cc4419a)

I append stroke ({nav fakeuserbug > GPencil > stroke}) from the attached file but could not able to notice described issue

May be I am doing this in a wrong way?

Thanks for checking it out, sorry for not being clearer.

Once in the append window, I go to the file --> Brush --> and Shift select the custom brushes that are available through the blender cloud (they all start with "pp_")
https://cloud.blender.org/p/gallery/5f235cc297f8815e74ffb90b
(though this happened with any brushes I tried appending)

It's the brushes themselves that get added as fake users, which you can scroll through in Draw Mode in the active tool workspace.

Thank you

This is expected behavior, brushes should always have a fake user by default when created, duplicated or made local (i.e. even in 2.93, if you link a brush and then make it local, it will get the fake user too). In that respect, the fact that this was not done on append was a bug...

Whether this behavior should be amended in specific append case (i.e. should appending brush follow the append operator option or not) I would consider a design topic for #user_interface and #sculpt_paint_texture modules.
