Required field validation not working properly

I have a powerapp new form where i have set few fields as required to true. When i click on submit button which uses SubmitForm(Form1) code, the required field validation triggers and it shows correct validation error message as below.

Once i change the error message Text property from Parent.Error to something meaningful as below, the error message doesn't go away even though i reset the form on Cancel button Click using ResetForm(Form1). May i know why? If i set it back to Parent.Error and then click Cancel button, the form resets properly.

The error message doesn’t clear because replacing Parent.Error breaks its connection to the form’s validation state.

To fix this, keep Parent.Error in your formula (or control visibility via a variable) so that ResetForm() can properly reset the error messages.

try below :

Keep Parent.Error and enhance it:

If(
!IsBlank(Parent.Error),
"Please fill this field",
""
)

Hi Bro,

This happens because you replaced Parent.Error with static text, so it no longer depends on form validation state.

Keep Text dynamic and control visibility instead:

Error Label → Text

"Finance type is required"

Error Label → Visible

!IsBlank(Parent.Error)

Alternative (Best Practice) - Use default
Text = Parent.Error

Why Issue Happens
Parent.Error auto-clears on ResetForm()
Static text does NOT reset → stays visible

Use Visible property for control
Don’t hardcode validation logic in Text
