UE 5.3 Disabling root motion doesn't work

I don’t know if you’ve got it fixed since then, but I had the same issue and was tearing my hair out.
The fix that I found is something that has been mentioned in other places.
In the retargeter, click at the Root chain and set the Translation mode to Global scaled.

That allowed me to toggle on the force root lock in the exported animation again.
