This request is for improvements for the "Global settings" screen.

1. As any user with correct privileges, Protect against "reset" button press without acknowledgement.

• On the "Global settings" screen there is no guard on the reset button.

• Selecting the "Yes or Ok" button would update the value in the database with the default value.
• The "Cancel" button will close the prompt without changing any values.

2. As "Admin", the UI offers a way to update the default value stored in the database.

3. As "Admin", the UI offers an editable regular expression to test against, and enforce formatting for the value and default value.

4. As "Admin", the UI offers the ability to edit the description.

5. Any changes should be logged with before and after values.
