Suggestions for Lattice improvements
lattices are great, but... theres some things that are to be desired.
Its a known issue that you can't practically reset a lattice to its default position. Pros will either tell you to use shape keys to keep a copy of the unedited lattice at all times, or to use Lattice>Make regular to reset it. both of these can be a little hard to work with for a couple of reasons:
while shape keys do work to save a copy of the lattice, unlike with meshes, you can not copy changes to particular points in the lattice because there is no "propogate to shapes" option for lattice.
Make Regular will only reset the entire lattice, and, if you have scaled your lattice at all it ... well it just doesnt make the lattice the same as it was / should be.
The way I would imagine we go about fixing this would be:
A. we could make a Lattice version of the "propogate to shapes" command
B. we could add a "Lattice > reset vertex position" or "Lattice > make vertex regular" option
C:(optional) fix the weird scaling issue with the "make regular" command
thank you for taking the time to read this and have a great day.

I didn't know this Shape Keys' Lattice limitation. Those analogue situations usually require feature upgrades to match the usual Workflow possibilities.
I would propose that you add to the request, alongside "Propagate to Shapes" Operation, the "Blend from Shape" Operation as well. Thanks!
