Option to create & apply presets for caption/subtitle styles
I'm working with a high volume of SRT files for importing subtitles (open captions), and I currently have to manually adjust the type style every single time I do so. A couple potential solutions that would make this way more manageable:
1) Presets. There's currently no way to create/apply a style preset for captions — all SRT imports will simply default to the unchangeable default set by Premiere. This would be manageable if there were a style dropdown with the option to save presets, much like in the Export Media window.
2) Change Defaults in Preferences. There's currently nowhere in Preferences where you can choose default caption style settings for new or imported captions.
3) Copy/Paste caption attributes. The ability to copy/paste type style from one caption file to another (much like the Paste Attributes option) would be extremely helpful.

Is there a document explaining the caption import settings and explaining each option? I make changes and not sure what happens besides font (looks like nothing else changes under style). I cannot find anything online.

For anyone else who finds this, you literally have to go into import settings to export the settings, and you need to enter them manually. This is the only fix I could find.

I couldn't agree more with this. Many people resort to Essential Graphics to have more control, but then you are not able to use .srt files. Please fix

What version of Premiere are you using? 13.1.3 and later versions have this feature. It is in the captions styling window. (In the Captions Panel, click the 'Import Settings' button.
