FLAC and WAV hold the same audio; FLAC just stores it more cleverly. Some software never learned the clever version — older editors, hardware samplers, a good deal of scientific and broadcast tooling — and wants the plain uncompressed file.
Because FLAC is lossless, this direction costs nothing at all. The samples that come out are the samples that went in, and the only change is that they are now stored uncompressed and the file is roughly twice the size.
There are no settings for the same reason there are none going the other way: nothing is being decided. It runs on your machine, so a folder of album tracks unpacks without any of them being uploaded.

Questions
Do I lose anything?
Nothing. Both formats hold identical samples — this only changes how they are stored.
Why is the WAV so much bigger?
FLAC compresses losslessly, usually to about half. Unpacking it gives that space back.
What bit depth comes out?
16-bit PCM at the original sample rate, which is what almost everything expects from a WAV.
