Miss Memory's fault
Don't do many in-library conversions, I did a few epub->docx recently using the default settings and was surprised to see the entries in the conversion-options table.

I assume you're referring to bulk convert. Yes, that removes the entry from the table but the stored template doesn't detect that until I refresh the book list, whereas checking
Remove stored conversion settings… in bulk MDE is detected immediately.

What I want is indication that I didn't use the default conversion settings. Miss Memory led me up the garden path by persuading me that the presence/absence of a row in the conv_options table would do that.
But, I will keep the
has_conversion_options stored template and column icon as a reminder — to clear the conv_options entry via bulk MDE if I used the default settings, OR leave the entry in place, and make a note of what changes I made to which Transforms to achieve what result.
What is the difference between these two shortcuts,
Edit metadata->Edit metadata AND
Edit metadata->Edit metadata individually
