I’m afraid not @Warde, unless you create a boolean on top of your document. When checked, you show the default (with no option to overwrite), otherwise you just show the inputs with the actual values.

That could be something, but not a big fan of working like that, as the boolean will hide values that are actually stored in the database.  
But it maybe gives you an idea?

I was thinking you could use the `rollforward` function perhaps too, but that’s just from one period to another.  
More info here:

This allows to mark a certain input-object or variable to be transferred to another object or…

But imo, that too is not a good workaround, as it is not meant for that and you want to reset values within one period.

If you’re still stuck on this, please, let us known so we can find something together.
