It is probably the clearing that is more common than individual editing, I don't anticipate users frequently wanting to manually overtype a goodreads id for instance.
If your metadata is messed up from a previous retrieval and you want to do a title/author based search you need to clear that field. And there is no provision for clearing it on the bulk metadata dialog - as it was I had to do it from doing individual edit dialogs and then manually selecting/clearing.
Putting isbn first sounds good, thanks. And +1 for the suggestion above of changing the bulk download dialog to avoid having to go into the submenus to download only metadata without covers etc.
