Can confirm it is still an issue.
As in other cases, UI_context_active_but_get(C) cannot find the button in a popup...

Pop-up handling is in a bad state right now (in fact, it was always full of issues). Opened T73565 to track the situation, not sure how to deal best with this yet, related code is a big mess.

Campbell Barton (campbellbarton) closed this task as a duplicate of T69200: Resetting default value does not work in popovers or menus.EditedFeb 21 2020, 2:37 AM

Closed as duplicate since fixing T69200: Resetting default value does not work in popovers or menus will fix this too.
