Solution

To revert a database connection to its original attribute configuration and reverse login UI changes, follow the steps below.

To revert the configuration, send a PATCH request to the Management API using the following endpoint. Replace the placeholder values with the appropriate domain and connection ID.

https://<auth0_domain>/api/v2/connections/<CONNECTION_ID>

Include the following empty options object in the request body:
```
{
  "options": {}
}
```
After a successful API call, navigate to Authentication > Database in the dashboard.
Select the database connection that was modified.
Verify that a tooltip with the option to Activate the New Attributes Configuration is displayed. This confirms the connection has been reverted to the old attribute configuration.
