Thanks a lot for your feedback, but I guess my explanation was not crystal clear: I have done a series of bulk metadata download, which I'm now refining book by book

So, when I download metadata for one book, I do not know in advance if the newly downloaded information will be any better than what I already have
Sometimes, I keep the description but not the tags, sometimes I want to keep the tags, but not the description, etc...

If I want to keep, say the tags, but not the description, I need to copy what I want to keep, then exit (<Cancel> & confirm), edit it again (<right-click>, <edit metadata>, <edit metadata individually>) and finally paste the data I want to keep

Adding a <save metadata> & <reload metadata> would replace 5 clicks ( <Cancel>, confirm, and then <right-click>, <edit metadata>, <edit metadata individually>) by one single click (<save/reload metadata>)
You can right-click in any metadata field in the dialog and choose undo. That will revert the change for that field. You can also change the preferences for the each metadata source to not download particular fields, and for the whole metadata download process.
