I doubt this will work. If you copy <factory> to startup> and
subsequently <running> to <startup>, there is a copy of <running> left
in <startup>, i.e., the copy of <factory> to startup> had no effect.
[Qin] To address this issue, we can introduce multiple target data sores in the new operation factory restore operation, copy factory datastore to startup and running in one operation, the source will be set to the same factory datastore.

URLs are an optional capability so far and I do not know what "URL is
set as source" means to me. What is target datastore here? I am not
sure how data flows.
[Qin] see device power on procedure defined in zero touch netconf WG draft, factory restore scheme, in my opinion can be integrated into it. The target datastore(s) can be set to any datasore(s) you want to return factory default.

What are multiple <running> targets? What are "multiple conceptual flows"?
I am confused.
[Qin] see above, in the above cases,multiple datasores can be set to <startup> and <running> And all other datastore that need to set to factory default. That means in the new operation, multiple target list can be included. If multiple factory defaults are allowed,multiple sources can be included as well.

Not sure multiple target running case exists,if we can copy one source to multiple instances distributed in multiple logical network elements, that will be great.
