Reset fields when user saves

(0) Share

Posted on by Gorilla_8

I have some fields that appear depending on the choice that the user makes and another field if it has "0" the same reset, and I would have another option also if the user selects a checkbox resets other fields too ...

The problem is that I don't want to use the "reset" property of the fields, but only reset if the option is selected, if the field "x" is with "0" and if a specific checkbox is selected

And I also don't see the need to use the condition for this, I say, "If" ...

What better way to do that?

I'm not sure exactly what you mean when you say you don't want to the reset property of the fields, but here is how I would do this.

I would define a global variable, say ResetSwitch, with an initial value of false (Set ResetSwitch, false).

For all the fields you want to reset when your condition is met, put simply ResetSwitch in the Reset property.

Then in the OnChecked property of the checkbox, I would have an If to test field x for 0 something like this depending on the data type, If(fieldx = "0", Set(ResetSwitch, true)).

So when they check the box, if field x is 0, then ResetSwitch will be set to true which will cause the fields in which you have ResetSwitch entered in the Reset property to in fact Reset.

You'll need to find the best spot to clear your switch with Set(ResetSwitch, false). I would definitely do it in the OnUncheck action but you may also need to clear elsewhere.

They are probably other ways, but this is the way I have handled it in the past.

Thanks for the response! So...I thought of variable too...

But I'm in the struggle to think of a better way to reset all types of fields mentioned, you know?

I'm not saying that you didn't help me, that's not it, I'm sorry if I expressed myself wrong about it, quite the contrary, all help is welcome!

What I think you didn't understand is that I don't want to use the field's "reset" property when the user uses a dropdown and depends on that choice he resets another field (in this way I meant)

It can use the "reset" property of fields only after saving, not depending on and other fields and instantly reset

I'm using the "patch" function to save
