How can I keep a radio button as Blank (no value), after submitting the form? It sets automatically to false, I don`t want neither false nor true.

Radio - Default 
f(IsBlank(_currentRecord.ContactProjectLeader), Blank(),
!IsBlank(_currentRecord.ContactProjectLeader), 
If(ThisItem.ContactProjectLeader = true, "Yes",
ThisItem.ContactProjectLeader = false, "No"))

//this is what I tried, also tried Reset instead of Blank, but none of these work..

I would recommend this for your Default property:

If(ThisItem.ContactProjectLeader, "Yes", !ThisItem.ContactProjectLeader, "No", Blank() )

And since you are "keying" off of _currentRecord in your formula, set the Reset property of the Radio control to:

IsBlank(_currentRecord)

I hope this is helpful for you.

Not working, and now is showing as a No before even submitting.
The formula I wrote, seems to be working on the other forms from different screens, it`s a splitted form on multiple screen, not sure why on the form with the Title (the 1st one to be submitted), all the radio set to No after submitting, but on the other forms from other screens that have the same datasource and items(bu different columns/datacards), they don`t, they remain Blank.

Depends on how you are splitting the forms and what your Item property is on the Form.

Also, is ContactProjectLeader as Yes/No column in your datasource?

What is _currentRecord and how are you setting that?

Lot's of "depends"!!

Yes. it is Yes/No column.
Radio control - Items: Table({Key: "Yes", Value:true},{Key: "No", Value:false}) //All forms have the properties like this Form - Items: _currentRecord Form _ OnSuccess: Set(_currentRecord, Self.LasSubmit) Radio Datacard - Update dcvContactProjectLeader.Selected.Value

How are you submitting the form then?

And - why would the Radio control be blank again?? If you are setting the record to the last submit (which I would assume would have a true or false value for that column), then the underlying record (_currentRecord) will also have that column with true or false.

Which is what I would expect your would want...if your form is then showing that record, then it should have the value of that record shown in the form.

If you were setting your record to a blank record (to become a new record in the list), then I would expect that your Radio control would be blank (based on the formula sent).

So I guess what I am asking is - if you have a form that you submit and then purposely make the record of the form to be the last submitted record...then it is not going to reset a radio control.

Are you intending to have the last submitted record shown in the form after it is submitted, or are you expecting to create a new record (blank form) at that point?

I am expected to have the last submitted form shown, I want to make everything fully dynamic, the form to be reedited whenever. For ex: I want to submit just the title and come back later and answer the radio questions, or submit the title, and keep editing the form...
This work for the majority of column, no input = Blank, I have choices column and they remain Blank.
But for the Y/N, I don`t know why it can`t remain just Blank.

Then the issue is with your Update property on the datacard!

What is that formula?

I mean it updates properly

Sorry...I see you provided that earlier!

Here is the thing...what is it updating? A true a false or a blank?

If it is a true or a false, then your underlying record - _currentRecord - is going to have a true or false in it. And, based on your default formula, it will reset to either true or false.

What you need to look at would be the following:

- Create a new record

- Submit the form

- View the values in the _currentRecord, specifically the ContactProjectLeader column value - if it is anything other than Blank, then your radio control will be showing the true or false value, regardless of reset.
