Why is there no UNDO in the multilayer input editor?

Every software I own, and I own many, has a ctrl-z or "undo" functionality. But for some reason, when moving elements in multilayer, there is no undo if I try something and don't like it.
What madness is this?
vMix has so many amazing functions. Why have they intentionally left out the most basic and useful one?

It might seem trivial to undo, but in a complex app like vMix it is very very difficult. And if you (as a developer) don't (intentionally) build in that from early on, it soon becomes impossible. Of course, it's a program, so it might be possible, but very expensive in terms of development efforts. just my two ören.

How many times have I wished that I could undo settings there... I would be fine with a CANCEL button that just restore everything as it looked like when entering the dialogue window. That might also be simpler from a SW-perspective - I mean then the developer "just have" to take a copy of all settings when entering and if the CANCEL-button is activated everything is just restored. Then other settings as color and other stuff also could be "undone". Just an idea.
