As many others I struggle with the philosophy on how Cura manages profiles and priorizes setting values.
The files in my user folder are usually quite empty, althoug I have many settings visible and altered in the sidebar and also saved to a custom profile as well. No matter how I reset these values or what standard profile I select, the materal settings mostly will not be taken over when changing to a different material. This is even more a pitty, as there also is a new plug in to manage the visible settings in the material configuration, which really would help to quickly change a job e.g. from PLA to TPU without cross-checking every value with some paper notes.
I was thinking of a spread sheet with different columns for default values, profile values and different material values, so it would become obvious at what level of the hierarchy a value could be found and taken over by Cura.
the big question is, where to find all the files containing all the altered values and how to import everything back to Cura?!
It looks like what the Plugin: Profile Analyzer does : ProfilAnalyser

To see which values are "altered", up by the profile itself e.g. "normal .15", click on the star. Or the drop down arrow next to the star and choose "manage profiles". This gives you a box with at least 2 tabs (global settings, extruder 1). Click on those tabs and look for values that are italic or where there is a value in the "current" column different from the value in the "profile" column. If there is a value there and it is different from default, then this is one of the values you changed.
You can load any old profile and then do the same thing - see the "altered" values.
