However, it works only first time after (re)loading GUI and changes are not saved. Problem: How to handle Defaults → "These Settings" to default it's settings and save them correctly?

Tables are passed by reference, what you're doing is just making ADDON_NAME.db point to ADDON_NAME.default instead of copying the table

So anything you do afterwards is with the table referenced in ADDON_NAME.default instead of the dereferenced one from ADDON_NAME.db


If you're lazy you can use Blizzard's CopyTable for deep copying

function CopyTable(settings)
    local copy = {};
    for k, v in pairs(settings) do
        if ( type(v) == "table" ) then
            copy[k] = CopyTable(v);
        else
            copy[k] = v;
        end
    end
    return copy;
end

ADDON_NAME.db = CopyTable(ADDON_NAME.default)

But there also was something about AceDB tables being "magic" tables
So in that specific case I'm probably wrong, and I don't really understand that part anymore

(Edit) would DBObjectLib:ResetProfile() work for you?

ADDON_NAME.db:ResetProfile()
