Yes, but I think that the request was not formulated clearly. The reporter
of that bug says:

   Would it possible to add a button to the dialog, which, if clicked
   sets all items to "Default"?

   Making repeated changes (a common occurrence in my workflow) is still
   cumbersome, requiring multiple changes if you only want to make one
   change and use the defaults for all others...

It is clear that he wanted a "Restore No Change" button rather than
a "Restore Defaults". Indeed, with a "Restore Defaults" button you
would not change only one property but multiple ones.

For example, using the Text Style dialog you select a word which has all
default properties and make it italic. Now you select another word which
has only boldface as non-default property and hit the "Apply last" toolbar
button. Now the word is in italic but not bold anymore...

This is not what the reporter of #11415 meant. He meant to have the word
in italic but still boldface. So, every occurrence of "default" in his
request has to be changed into "no change", IMO.
