The problem

Is it not possible to simply switch lovelance dashboard back to be automatically manage after switching to manual mode without manual hacking/removing /config/.storage/lovelance

Expected behavior

Button/action menu entry for switching lovelance back to auto mode.
Mode config entry in Dashboards manager panel.

Steps to reproduce

Switch dashboard to manual mode
Cry

This is not a bug. You can create a new dashboard easily in the configuration... The action for that dashboard should not be reversable

Why so? For me it sounds like a major design flaw. Especially together with lack of possibly to remove default dashboard. When someone will switch it to manually mannaged he is doomed forever by design.

You can switch back to auto generated mode by doing the following:

Click Lovelace action menu (3 dots)
Edit Dashboard
Click Lovelace menu again, this time enter "Raw configuration editor"
Select all -> Delete everything -> Hit "Save" button in top right
Accept prompt

It's kind of hidden / undiscoverable, but that's for the best IMO as you don't want to accidentally do this and lose all your edits.

You can also do:

Create new auto dashboard
Make it default
Delete old dashboard

Given there are multiple solutions to this, I'm going to close. Perhaps a PR to docs could be beneficial to explain
