Some lab file formats have quirks that a simple columnMapping cannot fully address — for example, skipping a fixed number of header rows, handling a specific date format, or treating certain qualifier codes as non-detect flags. The options field on an ImportMappingProfile stores these supplemental parsing settings as JSON. When an ImportBatch is processed with this profile, the parser reads both columnMapping and options together to handle the lab's format correctly from the very first row of data.

Import Mapping Profile Options
The `options` on an ImportMappingProfile is a JSON bag of additional parsing configuration beyond the column mapping itself.
