Reset of widget attributes

[M0ebiu5]

It should be possible to reset the attributes of a widget to the initial state from the settings dialogue. eg: after showing some errors with different colors or labels, a quick restore is possible.

It's also important because other nodes cannot read the attributes of a certain widget to save the original state, so that the restore can only be done manually.

So you mean you wanna reset via msg also or only in the options editor? Via msg this should already work if you set an attribute to null - then it should revert to its default value.

I mean reset via msg - null does not work for "label" (empty).

Hmmm, during testing v0.0.18, resetting the color stoped working. Here is a little sample, which shows that the color isn't restored. As side effect, you can see the effort to implement a countdown button (but, maybe it's only my lack of programming skill, so it shows event that :))
