Default attribute values are kind of broken, that's true. However the
persistency of resource attribute values (even default ones) is
definitely not a bug but a feature, although I understand why it gets
in your way here.

Insteasd of deleting the whole config, you can just "Reindex" the
appropriate resources to update them.
