I render in 3ds Max and output .exr files. Whenever I open them the dialoge box pops up to ask me if I'd like to assign a working profile or assign a specific profile. Is there some way that I can tell PS to just always assign a working profile so I don't always have to go through that dialoge box?

Assumed, your 3dsMax images are always in sRGB and you want image
processing in sRGB, then you can simply use standard Color Settings
as shown below.
If you save the original or modified image, then the profile sRGB is included,
unless it's not stripped on purpose.
A least, I think so...

The Script could be something like this (in this case it’s sRGB you may have to change that to the profile you prefer)
// 2012, use it at your own risk;
#target photoshop
if (app.documents.length > 0) {
var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
try {var theProfile = myDocument.colorProfileName}
catch (e) {
if (myDocument.mode == DocumentMode.RGB) {
// =======================================================
var idassignProfile = stringIDToTypeID( "assignProfile" );
var desc3 = new ActionDescriptor();
var idnull = charIDToTypeID( "null" );
var ref1 = new ActionReference();
var idDcmn = charIDToTypeID( "Dcmn" );
var idOrdn = charIDToTypeID( "Ordn" );
var idTrgt = charIDToTypeID( "Trgt" );
ref1.putEnumerated( idDcmn, idOrdn, idTrgt );
desc3.putReference( idnull, ref1 );
var idprofile = stringIDToTypeID( "profile" );
desc3.putString( idprofile, """sRGB IEC61966-2.1""" );
executeAction( idassignProfile, desc3, DialogModes.NO );
}
}
};
And in Script Events Manager the saved Script can be linked to the open-event.
Edit: And to avoid the dialog you would probably turn off the missing profile warning in the Color Settings.
Sorry, my suggestion #2 was wrong (my test file had unintentionally
sRGB embedded).
In order to avoid the Script solution, one may proceed as follows:
1. Color settings: sRGB
2. Missing profiles: Don't ask when opening
3. Save: Check Embed profile (which is now sRGB)
The extra effort is nothing more than step No.3
Of course, if an image doesn't have an embedded profile, the best
guess is 'colorspace sRGB'.

When your document doesn’t have a color profile the working space is ASSUMED if you want to explicitly convert to another profile.
Your initial question is why you can’t convert to a profile in the Missing Profile panel. Well you can, if you select the last option, but the only profile you can convert to is the working profile. Are you wanting to convert to another besides the working profile from the Missing Profile panel?
