For page "Device Auto Mount" There are several mentions in the help file
for things that I cannot see in the GUI system settings panel (see
screenshot attached). Flagged below in bold:
Device Auto-Mount
Trever Fischer
Revision Plasma
5.20 (2021-04-08)
This dialog allows you to configure automatic mounting of disks and volumes.
If you enable the automatic mounting features in this module, you will
not need to use the device notifier applet or the navigation panel in
the file manager to get access to a recently plugged in device.
At the top of the dialog you find the *global settings [not visible. Has
this been renamed "All Known Devices"?]*, which can be overridden for
each single device in the *Device Overrides list [not visible. Has it
been renamed "Attached Devices"?].* For a single-user desktop it is
recommended to have all the check boxes above the overrides list enabled.
*Enable automatic mounting of removable media [not visible. All I have
is "Automatically mount removable media that have never been mounted
before].*
When this is unchecked, no device automounting of any kind will happen,
regardless of anything selected in the Device Overrides section.
*Only automatically mount removable media that has been manually mounted
before **[not visible. All I have is "Automatically mount removable
media that have never been mounted before].*
When this is checked, Plasma will only automatically mount devices it
remembers. A device is “remembered” if it has ever been mounted before;
e.g. plugging in a USB media player to charge is not sufficient to
“remember” it. If the files are not accessed, Plasma will not
automatically mount the player next time it is seen. Once they have been
accessed, however, Plasma will remember to automatically make the
contents accessible to your system.
*Automatically mount all removable media at login **[not visible. All I
have is "Automatically mount removable media that have never been
mounted before].*
If any removable storage devices are connected to your system when you
login to your desktop, Plasma will automatically make the contents
available to your system for other programs to read.
*Automatically mount removable media when attached **[not visible. All I
have is "Automatically mount removable media that have never been
mounted before].*
When this is checked, Plasma will automatically make the contents of any
storage device available to the system when it is plugged in or attached.
*Automatic mount [Not visible. Has it been renamed "Attached Devices"?]*
This list contains the storage devices known to Plasma. If On Login is
checked, the device will be automatically mounted even though
Automatically mount all removable media at login is unchecked. The same
applies for On Attach.
If Enable automatic mounting of removable media is unchecked, the
overrides do not apply and no devices will be automatically mounted.
Forget Device
Clicking this button causes Plasma to “forget” that the selected devices
ever existed. This is only useful if Only automatically mount removable
media that has been manually mounted before is checked. Once a device is
forgotten and Plasma is set to only automatically mount familiar
devices, the device will not be automatically mounted.

I have made some suggested updates below. Feel free to adapt it or
discard it however you wish:

This dialog allows you to configure automatic mounting of disks and volumes.
If you enable the automatic mounting features in this module, you will
not need to use the device notifier applet or the navigation panel in
the file manager to get access to a recently plugged in device.
At the top of the dialog you find the All Known Devices setting, which
can be overridden for each single device in theDevice Overrideslist. For
a single-user desktop it is recommended to have both the check boxes
above the overrides list enabled.
"On Login" checkbox
If any removable storage devices are connected to your system when
you login to your desktop,Plasmawill automatically make the contents
available to your system for other programs to read.
"On Attach" checkbox
When this is checked,Plasmawill automatically make the contents of
any storage device available to the system when it is plugged in or
attached.
Attached Devices
This list contains the storage devices known toPlasma. Checkboxes
selected here will override the global "All Known Devices" setting.
Automatically mount removable media that have never been mounted before
When this is unchecked,Plasmawill only automatically mount devices
it remembers. A device is“remembered”if it has ever been mounted
before;e.g.plugging in aUSBmedia player to charge is not sufficient
to“remember”it. If the files are not accessed,Plasmawill not
automatically mount the player next time it is seen. Once they have
been accessed, however,Plasmawill remember to automatically make the
contents accessible to your system.
Forget Device
Clicking this button causesPlasmato“forget”that the selected devices
ever existed. This is only useful ifOnly automatically mount
removable media that has been manually mounted beforeis checked.
Once a device is forgotten andPlasmais set to only automatically
mount familiar devices, the device will not be automatically mounted.
