I never use auto-import, but this information is good to know.
Thank you.

blgentry :

I use only one custom field and it works ok.
I always make a backup just before restoring.

The tools "Update tags when file info changes" and "Update Tags" seem interesting. I will try them and continue my exploration.
I will come back later.

Awesome Donkey:
I always use the "Update tags when file info changes" and "Update tags (from library)" options and never have issues with missing metadata after booting into a different OS (Windows, macOS or Linux), moving my library to a different computer or changing the storage location.

I begin to believe that this is the key to the riddle.

blgentry:
If you do a Library Restore, your metadata should be correct *before* you do the Rename, Move, and Copy files to fix paths.

I would do a restore, into an empty library, and immediately check a song's metadata to see if it's right.  If not, there's something wrong with the backup, the backup file, or the restore.  It should be correct immediately after restore.  The metadata written to the files should have NO impact on this at all.  Because the Library Restore is purely internal to MC's database.

Not using auto-import is not the same as disabling auto-import.
I believe it will still check the library for missing files automatically even if you don't have any watched folders.
