"Override and add to download queue" is a useless feature? (self.servarr)

In attempting to download American Dad, I've discovered the list of known shows with episode numbering issues because of TVDb's unflexible naming conventions. I found the option to "override and add to download queue" on the Interactive Search, but it didn't seem to be correcting the info on import. I finally found on the Servarr FAQ this bit about the override feature, "Note that this overruled information is not carried over to the import logic and manual imports may be required," indicating my override selections are ignored intentionally. So what's the point of this feature? Unless I'm missing something here, it seems completely useless to even have this option available if the override selections are then just completely ignored through the rest of the download and import process. Am I using this wrong?

I just ran into this today. I think it's only really useful for "Unknown Series". If you grab it without first identifying it, the release will show up as one episode under the queue, and only the episode you "interactively searched" for will be imported. Whereas if you identified everything prior, it will be show up correctly and all the episodes you selected will be imported. Other than that, I think you're right, I find myself identifying releases when something does line up after the download.
