Problem/Motivation

Configuration Revert currently supports reverting a single configuration entity.

There may be use cases for bulk reversion. Examples:

  • After experimentation, restore a module's configuration to its default state.
  • Restore a Features-type module's configuration to its default state to stay on configuration upgrade path.
  • When browsing a list of overridden configuration, select specific items to revert all at once.

Mass reversion might include:

  • Revert all of a list of configuration entities/items.
  • Revert all configuration entities of a given type.
  • Revert all configuration entities provided by a given extension.
  • Revert all configuration entities of a given type provided by a given extension.

Proposed resolution

Such methods could be added to a service providing reversion methods (see #2408909: Pull configuration item reversion into a separate class/service).

Possible UI changes:

  • Add checkboxes to current reports to select multiple items to revert.
  • Add buttons or similar elements to reports to trigger mass operations, like:
    • Add all missing configuration items
    • Revert all changed configuration items

Additional bulk operations: Export multiple -- see #3038494: Add bulk export ability

This module doesn't support *any* bulk operations, and I don't think it is going to.

But I'll leave this open.

Title: Support bulk reversion (by list, per extension, per type) » Support bulk operations on reports

Also, as a note, reverting config using this module doesn't really get a module to its default state, because a lot of Core modules do things in their installation process that are not reflected in their config/install or config/optional configuration (which you will see as "changed" or "added" items on the reports).

So I think the only use case that makes sense here is to have checkboxes on the report sections and bulk operations.
