Posted on by CU25040303-0

I am using an Address Input control inside a container (not inside a form). When I try to clear the fields using a Reset button, it doesn’t work, and the field gets underlined in red. How can I properly reset an Address Input control that’s not inside a form. ChatGPT and Copilot are not helping. Please help

Hi @CU25040303-0,

If the control has a Reset property (what exactly is an Address Input control) , then set it to a Variable (I will use varReset here) and then toggle the Variable
UpdateContext({varReset: true}); UpdateContext({varReset: false});

Hi@CU25040303-0,

I found an alternative solution for resetting the Address Input control outside of a form.

The reason standard variables and Reset() fail is that the control's internal search engine "locks" onto manual text. You have to force a "buffer break" using a Timer Control to give the UI time to register the change.

1. Add a Timer Control

Duration:
1000 (1 second)

Start:
varStartTimer

OnTimerStart:
UpdateContext({varAddressDefault: " "}) (Sets it to a space)

OnTimerEnd:

UpdateContext({varAddressDefault: ""}); UpdateContext({varStartTimer: false})

2. The Reset Button

OnSelect: UpdateContext({varStartTimer: true})
UpdateContext({varStartTimer: true})

3. The Address Input Control

Default:
UpdateContext({varStartTimer: true})

✅If this helped, please Accept as Solution to help others ❤️ A Like is appreciated

Hi @CU25040303-0 , just to complement the @WarrenBelz comment, if you are using the Modern Controls, there is no Reset property in the settings of this new controls, or you swap for the legacy controls or in this case you can set a button on in OnVisible property of the form the follow code:

Reset(ControlName1); Reset(ControlName2)

This way you can force the reset in the specific controls set.
