Terminology: the upper-left box of the main CE window is called the "found list" and the bottom section is called the "address list". Look through main.lua or hover over the red drop down arrow to see evidence of this.

If you change the value yourself in the address list, just select the record and press ctrl+z to undo your change. If you're not changing the value yourself, then make a variable that stores the old value whenever the current value changes. Use either a timer or a bptWrite breakpoint to do this.

Yes, it's possible to revert an item in the found list back to a value it was at. This would not be easy as you'll have to read from the files on disk that CE uses. I'm not even sure if it's feasible to get the currently selected item in the found list.

As for your second idea, that would be pretty easy to do. Look into the GenericHotkey, Addresslist, and MemoryRecord classes in main.lua. If you want it inside a right click menu, you can try looking into the Control, PopupMenu, and Menu classes, but I'm not sure how feasible that'll be.

Find the control with the correct popup menu (trial and error mostly; use the Visible property to help).
Call createMenuItem(ownermenu) and pass it that popupmenu.
Set the OnClick property of the menu you created.
Call setShortcut(shortcut) on the property you created.
Call popupmenu.Items.add(menu) and pass it the menu you created.

You can find it in less than a minute if you take some time to look through main.lua.

Second part:
Yes, loop through the table the function getSelectedRecords() returns.

Third part:
I'm confused again. Why do you need to constantly keep track of the value as it changes? All you need to do is save the value to a table (maybe index it using the address) with one function and restore the saved value with the other function. If there is no saved value, then just ignore that address.

Please note that tables are not technically arrays, but they can be used like arrays and there is support (i.e. ipairs) for them built into Lua.

CE-related arrays tend to start at index 0, not 1 where Lua expects it to start. This could raise some errors with stuff like ipairs. So you have to loop through it manually like I did above.
