_bugsquad edit: according to https://github.com/godotengine/godot/issues/7901#issuecomment-380202514 the issue is still reproducible in https://github.com/godotengine/godot/commit/a7f6e093d84189f3da0d52cd095107be6bab5485_
Operating system or device - Godot version:
Xubuntu 16.04.2 LTS, Godot version: master 55ce8e6c, 2.1.2_stable,
Issue description:
When editing the instance and change value, revert button don't restore property to the original value.
Works correct when a instance scene saved on a godot 1.1.
Steps to reproduce:
1) Create scene A with one node.
2) Create scene B with one node.
3) Instantiate a scene B to A.
4) Change a value and try the revert button.

Link to minimal example project:

Does deselecting and reselecting the node workaround the issue?
Selection and reselection the node does not solve this issue.
First of all thank you for your report and sorry for the delay.
We released Godot 3.0 in January 2018 after 18 months of work, fixing many old issues either directly, or by obsoleting/replacing the features they were referring to.
We still have hundreds of issues whose relevance/reproducibility needs to be checked against the current stable version, and that's where you can help us.
Could you check if the issue that you described initially is still relevant/reproducible in Godot 3.0 or any newer version, and comment about its current status here?
For bug reports, please also make sure that the issue contains detailed steps to reproduce the bug and, if possible, a zipped project that can be used to reproduce it right away. This greatly speeds up debugging and bugfixing tasks for our contributors.
Our Bugsquad will review this issue more in-depth in 15 days, and potentially close it if its relevance could not be confirmed.
Thanks in advance.
Note: This message is being copy-pasted to many "stale" issues (90+ days without activity). It might happen that it is not meaningful for this specific issue or appears oblivious of the issue's context, if so please comment to notify the Bugsquad about it.
Reproducible in stable 3.0.2, reproducible in master a7f6e09.
I can't reproduce, but can't really say I understand the issue well either, do you think you could update the demo project or add more detail to the description?
Interesting, exported variables can't be reverted but the regular variables can't be reverted.
Tested the 3.1 project in the current master branch and it appears to be fixed by 6cc116d. The revert button properly reverts all properties to that of the base scene.

Try to revert a value from the button:
Text value reverted to original instance.
Icon don't reverted.
Flat reverted to original instance.
Clip text not reverted.
And many other properties can't reverted to original value.
