In document options units are set to centimeters
Page format ->socre changing inches to centimeters, when going back its again in inches, and in Page Layout tool -> Page size units also in inches. What I'm missing or doing wrong that they all could stay in centimeters.

The default {Measurement Units choice} is program specific, not document specific.
You can change the program default via the (sub-)menu Measurement Units.

1) The Document Options pop up menu allows you to enter values in other units than the program’s default units.

2) You can also enter values in other units by adding letters:
72e = 72 EVPUs
72pt = 72 Points
72p = 72 Picas
&c.

The other units chosen via method 1) or method 2) are temporary; they do not affect the program’s default {Measurement Units choice}.
You can change the program default via the (sub-)menu Measurement Units.
