Calibre Default Conversion Options

I am trying to set the following as the default conversion options for EPUB conversion:
Spoiler:


output_profile: 'tablet'
disable_font_rescaling: True
embed_all_fonts: True
epub_version: '3'
preserve_cover_aspect_ratio: True
dont_split_on_page_breaks: True
flow_size: 0
page_breaks_before: '//h:h1 | //h1'
margin_top: 0.0
margin_right: 0.0
margin_bottom: 0.0
margin_left: 0.0
dehyphenate: False
unwrap_lines: False
fix_indents: False
delete_blank_paragraphs: False
markup_chapter_headings: False
renumber_headings: False
italicize_common_cases: False
format_scene_breaks: False
keep_ligatures: True
verbose: 2

Regardless of whether I set them via the GUI or edit the following files, Calibre resets them back to where they were

epub_output
{
"dont_split_on_page_breaks": true,
"flow_size": 0,
"no_default_epub_cover": false,
