Hello all,

This seems like simple fix but it is not coming to me. here is the question...

I am trying to create an invoice app, I have it down till entering multiple items . I have an "Add Item" button that I would like to submit the one item they just entered and have it reset the form to add the new item ( i would like it to reset some of the data cards and not others if possible ie company name, ID #, and dates stay all others reset to blank).

I have tried

Submit(Editform1); Reset(editform1) : The Function expects a resettable control as its input

I have tried a patch: But it keeps giving me an error after submitting or telling me that my controls are wrong

I have also tried : SubmitForm(Editform1); Reset(each card I want to reset) :The Function can only be used with a resettable control. Controls with in a form or Gallery can only be reset from with in the same form.

Im okay if I cant have certain cards reset but I would like to get able to submit the form and then reset in one button so they can enter another item... Im thinking its not reset that i need to use but something else... this will most likely be a forehead slap it is figured out

Please help !

Hi @Anonymous

As a rule I never put anything other than SubmitForm() in a button that actually submits the form. Any other commands should be added to the OnSuccess property of the form. That way, they will not execute unless the form is successfully submitted.

Try OnSelect of the save button:
Submit(Editform1); Newform(Editform1)

Put this code in the OnSelect of your button

SubmitForm(Form1);

Put this code in the OnSuccess property of the Form

NewForm(Form1)

This combines the idea of @eka24 with the good point by @Drrickryp that the form should only reset if successful. Give them both credit instead of me.
