Looking a little closer, the plugin does reset fields on the `write` event, meaning that it will take action any chance. That seems like a strange choice, but that’s how it is!
Maybe we should consider changing the plugin—or replacing it with something more flexible—so it only takes action on import. That would seem more predictable to me.
