It worked great with 7/8 for me.
So does that make the nozzle width on the Printer settings dialogue box superfluous?
Yes, kind of. The Machine Settings applies the change to all profiles. If you set the line width in the sidebar, you only change it for the current (custom) profile.
Why is it there if you set the nozzle size via the line width? Why is it*7/8 rather than *1?.
The materials team makes the standard profiles. They determined you get slightly better results with a linewidth that is slightly smaller than the (advertised) nozzle diameter.
What happens, if anything, if the nozzle size in the Printer settings is set to .4 but the line width is set to .8*7/8?
What you set in the sidebar trumps what you set in the Machine Settings.

Hi Job,
You have to change the line width parameter in Cura.
Default line width is calculated like this: line width = nozzleSize*7/8
I think it's under the quality settings

Just set the line width to 0.8 or similar and it will work.
It's the same as setting the nozzle size.

Just trying to understand fully how this stuff works if I want to swap from 0.4 to 0.8
