This came up in a recent game:

My opponent was playing Dominion, had three non-headquarters missions that had Strength in the regular requirements, and Rescue Prisoners of War.

They played Crom and went to download three personnel. I said they couldn't, because RPoW only requires Strength when it's being attempted.

They said that in a different recent game they'd been told they could use Crom to download. Like a gent, they took my word for it, and didn't do the download.

But for my own peace of mind, was I right? Crom doesn't trigger with RPoW, right?

Correct. Modal requirements are only active during a mission attempt at that mission using them (they aren't even active if you attempt a modal mission "the regular way"). Since you aren't attempting RPOW using the modal requirements when you play Crom, he can't see the alternate requirements and thus can't do his download.

Phew. Peace of mind restored. Thanks
