Posted on by Community Power Pla... Microsoft Employee

Hello!

I want my form to be sent and only reset a few datacardvalue's. How do I do this?

I know I need to do something with the method "OnSuccess" in the EditForm properties. How do I do this? 🙂

Hi @Anonymous ,
Two ways
For a temporary situation, Patch the relevant fields instead of using SubmitForm
For permanent, remove the Update property of all the other cards
There are also some hybrid solutions such as conditional Update values based on a set Variable
I am not sure of your second question - you can run code on the OnSuccess property.

Hey!

So basically, I have a few datacards and I whenever I submit the form, I want a few datacards to get cleared and some datacards should keep their information they filled in.

I tried to put this in OnSuccess:

Reset(DataCardValue22)

But this does not work.

Hi @Anonymous ,
I thought by reset, you meant at the data source. I get your issue now.
Try this - on the Default property of the cards you want reset<
If( vReset, Blank(), What the default is now )
On the OnSuccess of the form
UpdateContext({vReset:true}); Reset(Card1); Reset(Card2) etc etc
On screen exit (and screen entrance to be safe)
UpdateContext({vReset:false})
This should work (although I have not tested it)

You can put this Variable on success:
Set(ResetValue," ")
Then put the ResetValue in the Datacardvalue22

Could you explain this more in detail?

Would I just have to do this?

Set(DataCardValue22," ")

What if I want to do it with multiple datacards? Would it go like this?

Set(DataCardValue22," "); Set(DataCardValue21," "); Set(DataCardValue20," ")

@eka24

Whenever I try this: Set(DataCardValue22, " ")

I get this error: Unexpected Characters. The formula contains "Ident" where "Control" is expected.

Please Look at the variable again:
1.Set(ResetValue," ") This is a variable that says no value or blank.
2. Then put the variable name: ResetValue into the Default of of all the Datacardvalues that you want cleared or blank after success.

So if you want 4 datacardvalues, in each one of them, put the variable name: ResetValue into its default property

Hope is clear
