fwiw -- this is a reply to a comment that starts "Perhaps I'm not familiar
enough with function of that buttons" -- and not a reply to the OP, which
points out:
"If nothing in Contains is found on the current tab, then the Standard(Set to
Parent) button should be greyed out."

Further explanation: 
1. Reset to Parent applies only to the current tab. 
2. This button would only be relevant if a value was changed from the parent or
hard-coded constant.  
3. It would make it easier for a user to recognize that something was changed
in a tab if this button was only active when something actually had been
changed.

This is not really relevant to the point of the OP.  Of course nothing happens
if no changes were made for the tab and the button is clicked.  So not a
serious problem if not changed.  But if the button were greyed out unless there
were changes to the tab, then it would be informative to the user -- without
forcing the user to switch to the Contains tab, to see if something on the
selected tab was listed there.
