Ivy docs: Settings Files: property
Ivy docs: Settings Files: property has
ifset: the variable will be set only if the provided 'ifset' variable is already set (Since 2.4)
unlessset: the variable will not be set unless the provided 'unlessset' variable is set (Since 2.4)
Doesn't that say that ifset and unlessset do the same thing? Doesn't unlessset say, in effect,
unlessset: the variable WILL NOT be set if the 'unlessset' variable IS NOT set,
which is the same as saying,
unlessset: the variable WILL be set if the 'unlessset' variable IS set,
which is the same as ifset.
Shouldn't it read
unlessset the variable will only be set if the provided 'unlessset' variable is not set
?

Yes, it says the same thing. However, if the wording of unlessset is made as close as possible to teh wording of ifset, the contrast between the two is made more obvious.
In fact you could use
ifset: the variable will be set only if the provided 'ifset' variable is already set (Since 2.4)
unlessset the variable will be set only if the provided 'unlessset' variable is not set (Since 2.4)

I suppose that in the description of the unlessset attribute, 'not' should
be removed:
unlessset: the variable will be set unless the provided 'unlessset'
variable is set (Since 2.4)
Which is the same as your interpretation: "variable will only be set if the
provided 'unlessset' variable is not set".
