In this project, I have 2 forms (registration and monitoring), one dataset, and one submission to the monitoring form. The monitoring (update) submission is in the backlog because it was created offline and the registration (create) submission was not sent.
When I go to toggle the dataset to not require approval and reprocess all pending submissions, it shows this message indicating 1 submission that will be used to create an entity. This is misleading because this submission wont create an entity, even if force-processed, unless the dataset setting is changed before the force-processing occurs.
The messaging in this popup is from a time when we only had entity creates and is confusing and misleading now.
The "convert all pending submissions to entities now" functionality is also really hard to reason about now that we have offline entity updates and force processing. Does it still have a place? Could we consider removing it?

I do think we could make this more true and understandable by changing the text to
Convert all pending Submissions that create Entities
Change the setting and create Entities from any Submissions that indicate Entity creation and have not been Approved or Rejected.
This functionality adds convenience but I doubt it's commonly used. The same effect can be achieved by approving all pending submissions before toggling the setting. I think if it's a painful option to maintain we could remove it, even without first adding analytics.
