You can't have more than one heading level associated with a given caption
label (such as Figure). Whenever you change the setting, you change it for
all captions, not just the current one. The conventional wisdom is that
captions deeper than ChapterNumber.FigureNumber are confusing, anyway. So
just associate the caption with Heading 1 and let it ride.

In particular, a *mixture* of different systems within the same text
would be very confusing, of course.

please help.... my project report is way too long to reference by hand

what im trying to do is have the figures correspond to the chapter
ie.
title 1
caption 1.1
but subtitle 1 eg (1.1)
to have caption 1.1.1

or is that impossible to do?
because later on i will need to have a list of figures and also list o
table

As Stefan and I have both told you, no, this is not possible. You can have
only one heading level associated with a given caption label. Best to stick
with your chapter title level (Heading 1).
