Can you reset task contents so selection and edits are returned to what was set before you ran the task

Question

We are starting to use tasks.  We are using tasks as an aid to complete multi-step processes consistently and to provide "shortcuts" to get specific tasks done. Within tasks using contents to set was is visible, selectable, and editable is great!

However, is there a way when the task is completed that what is visible, selectable, and editable will be returned to what they were before the task was started?

Sure.  That will get more eyes on it.

Good thought, I tried that with a couple of test tasks for the cartographers.  The problem is that they come at the "short cut" tasks from a number of different business processes so that there is not a specific contents set that will work.  I thought if I created some tasks that represent "edit environments" that this would be more flexible and transparent. Also... I was thinking I would let users change & customize these environment setting tasks  to fit their way of doing business.  Whereas, I do not want them messing with "production tasks".

My suggestion would be to add an automatic, hidden step at the end that sets everything in the Contents back to how you like it.
