Regression
No
The Prefab instance values are not saved when resetting them with the custom button in the Inspector
Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the project “Unity 2022.1.19f1 - Custom editor button changing vector list on prefab instance lets 0 revert on Play Exit”
2. Open the “SampleScene” Scene
3. Select “ListOfPoints” GameObject in the Hierarchy
4. Click the “Reset all values to zero” button in the Inspector
5. Enter Play mode
6. Observe the Inspector
Expected result: The values remain 0
Actual result: Some values changed back to 99 (The changed values are the ones that are 0 in the original Prefab)
Reproducible with: 2020.3.40f1, 2021.3.13f1, 2022.1.22f1, 2022.2.0b14, 2023.1.0a18
Reproduced on: macOS Monterey 12.5.1 (Intel)
Notes:
- Git also does not track the values reset
- Not reproducible with “ListOfPoints (1)” GameObject because it is a non-prefab instance

Resolution Note:
Hi, please check out the documentation for recording undo on Prefab instances. Following the example will make entering Play mode work correctly.
https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/PrefabUtility.RecordPrefabInstancePropertyModifications.html
It should follow this pattern:
Undo.RecordObject(script, "Reset all values to zero");
//Set values here
...
PrefabUtility.RecordPrefabInstancePropertyModifications(script);
