I have done an “Edit Runtime”, changed something, but then can’t figure out how to reset it back to the original state. When I go back into it and click “Reset” it doesn’t do anything, it just seems to reset to the state before making changes that have not been submitted.

Edit Runtime uses `cylc broadcast` under the hood, so you can do this by clicking Broadcast and choosing the “Clear” mode, or using

```auto
cylc broadcast <workflow> --clear -n <task> -p <cycle>

```

on the CLI
