What does “canRestore” attribute mean in system.xml?

by

The question:

Maybe someone already saw an <field> attribute canRestore="1":

[...]
<field id="provider"
       translate="label"
       type="text"
       sortOrder="100"
       canRestore="1"
       showInDefault="1">
    <label>Provider</label>
</field>
[...]

Any ideas what does it mean?

The Solutions:

Below are the methods you can try. The first solution is probably the best. Try others if the first one doesn’t work. Senior developers aren’t just copying/pasting – they read the methods carefully & apply them wisely to each case.

Method 1

You can show Use system value check-box to system configuration by canRestore=”1″ property in system.xml

enter image description here

Method 2

In your config.xml file, you can specify default values for the admin configuration form that you created in system.xml. If a user manually entered a value in one of those fields, they can reset the field to the default value that you specified in config.xml.
