Global Configuration Stream update to baseline as a restore function

This is a Global Configurations item, we have been directed to use DNG until GC is added to the RFE system.
Currently the update function of a stream in the GC app is used as an “update of things I have not changed” function. It replaces baselines with newer content, but does not override streams under the assumption that the changes made should be maintained.
This is a useful function, but is not the only use case. There is a use case in complex GCs to restore a portion of the GC back to original state (or another baseline) removing the stream adjustments made.
This restorative update is an independent use that the current update function lacks.
