I want to reset "Text" property of TextInput using Reset(TextInput); function

Initially I set the "Text" property to a variable called "coordinates" then using below function on button OnSelect

UpdateContext({coordinates:Location.Latitude & ","& Location.Longitude});Reset(textInput)

Reset() function gives following error "The function expects a resettable control as its input."

Where is it wrong?

In your screenshot, you're calling Reset on TextLatitude. Can you confirm what TextLatitude is? If it's a not a control (such as text input control), that would be an explaination of the error.

@timl It is the same TextInput referred in my org post. Issue is raised when using Reset(TextInput);

@akg1421 - Your screenshot references textLatitude, not TextInput. Are you absolutely sure that textLatitude is a text input control, because the error message here suggests that it isn't.

@timl Yes it is the same TextInput and there're no typos. I just simplified it as "TextInput" in my post.
TextInput and txtLatitude are same

See screenshot of apps Tree view

It looks like textLatitude and textLongitude are label controls in your app. The icon for a text input control includes a cursor in the image, and the textLatitude icon in your image matches that of a label.

If you recreate textLatitude with a text input control, that should hopefully solve the problem.

It's not possible to reset a label control by calling the reset function. The workaround is to set the text property of the label to a variable. You can then set/reset the value that's shown in the label by updating the variable.
