Power Platform Community Forum Thread Details

Hello!

I have a powerapp that is used to keep track of order information such as order numbers, warehouse, and lineitems. These are all text inputs. After these lines are filled out, the user can submit the form and everything is collected in my sharepoint list. However, when I go back to edit this information in powerapps, I can't figure out how to have powerapps reset the data in sharepoint if I want to erase/reset one of my text inputs. If someone accidently submits a line it seems like I can only update the value instead of setting it to blank or "nothing". I want to add a icon that can be used to clear/reset the textbox. The user can then submit/save the form and it will update the sharepoint record. Please help!

Hi @Anonymous,

Could you please share a bit more about your app's configuration?

Further, do you want to erase or reset a column value of a SP list item through your PowerApps app?

I have made a test on my side, please take a try with the following workaround:

Within Edit Screen, add a Edit Form control and a Button control. The DataSoure property of the Edit Form set to my SP list, the Item propety of the Edit Form set to following formula:

Gallery1.Selected

The OnSelect property of the Button control (Submit button) set to following formula:

SubmitForm(Form1)

If you want to erase/reset one of your Text Inputs within the Edit Form of your app, you could clear the text within the corresponding TextInput control firstly, then click Submit button:
