It's been reported here multiple times but can we please get this fixed.

OnVisible sets a variable to true that is attached the penInput Reset property. This should clear the image from the penInput control when the form becomes, but it does not. Yes there are not so obvious workarounds, but this should work as expected.

Thanks

Hi @mike528 ! Could you please show the formula for the onVisible and the Reset Property of Pen Input control?

And what I am understanding is that you want to reset the control every time it is visible, is that correct? You could try Reset(PenInput) on the onVisible property?

Best,
Zabi

In the OnVisible, I have
UpdateContext({locClearImage: true})

then on the penInput, the Reset expression is simply locClearImage

This works well if the code for setting locClearImage to true is in the OnSelect of a button. But does not work when in the OnVisible. Also, Reset(penInput) does not change the outcome ... the previous image is still there.

Thanks

After trying my solution, your solution, and other people's solution, I willing to say it must be a bug. I have also tried adding a button with Reset(PenInput) on onSelect Property and then Select(Button) on screen onVisible that hasn't worked either. Maybe you can submit an idea here: https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Ideas/ct-p/PA_Comm_Ideas.

I am sorry you have to go through this!
