I want to have CAPS OFF in my ISPF Edit profile.
Unfortunately whenever I edit/view any member with no lowercase
characters the profile is automatically changed to CAPS ON.
I understand such behaviour may be useful, however I need to have CAPS
OFF despite of characters in currently edited member.

Perhaps I missed it, but I'm curious why there is a "need".
I only think of needing CAPS OFF when you want to put some lower-case thing
into the file. After you have done so, the file is CAPS OFF and remains that
way (unless you explicitly do whatever it takes to make it CAPS ON again).
So if you're editing a file that is all caps and don't want to put something
lower-case into it, you don't need CAPS OFF.
And if you're editing a file that is all caps, and do want to put something
lower-case into it, you enter CAPS OFF, make your change and that file is now
CAPS OFF (and won't automatically change to CAPS ON).
I edit and view many members or datasets.
Sometimes I just viewed "only capitals" member and then I want to create
some another. However sometimes I use laptop's clipboard to copy & paste
some data from another PCOMM session. Then pasted text is automatically
converted because of CAPS ON.
OK, I can type CAPS OFF and then paste the text. However sometimes I
forget to do it or simply do not notice current CAPS ON "trap" active.
Another case - I take existing member with no lowercase letters, however
I want to put something in lowercase.
Of course I will see the change after first enter pressed, but it is
really inconvenient. Of course sometimes I paste mixed case text into
the member. Etc.
To be honest whenever I write something from scratch I try to put some
lowercase letter into a comment, just to avoid CAPS ON trap in the future.
