Absolutely yes.

No decoder lets you actually change CV8 (manufacturer ID). That is why it is set as read-only in JMRI.

But attempting to write a specific value to CV8 is used by many decoder manufacturers to trigger a reset. This is handled in JMRI by using the Resets menu visible when you are programming a roster entry. Some decoders allow you to write different values to do full or partial resets and JMRI will give you choices in this case.

In general, decoder resets can only be done on the programming track. However some decoders can be reset with Program on Main and for cases known to JMRI, it can give you an available entry in the Resets menu when using Program on Main.
