Trim wheel has priority over the electrical control but does it 'disable autotrim for the duration of the flight' ?
Now, you won’t mind if I ask to back up that one …
But you don't!

Using the TRIM WHEEL does NOT disable autotrim for the duration of the flight.

What it does is override the instantaneous demand and allows the direct pilot input to take effect. The computers continue to track the trim state.
