Context Variables not working

Anyone else having issues with context variables not working? I am trying to reset text input, default dates, toggles none of them are firing either on visible or on select of a button. Pretty straight forward something like this:

Button1.Onselect - UpdateContext({cleartext:""})

Textinput1.default - cleartext

Textinput1.reset = true

Similar for the dates and toggles only imagine they are set to false and teh date is something like Today() + 1

None of these are working.

I'm still on v2.0.662 and all is well. You need to change TextInput1.Reset to a variable that can change from true back to false. One easy way to do this is to set TextInput1.Reset to:
Button1.Pressed
OR set the Button's OnSelect property to a context variable that goes true-then-false:
UpdateContext({cleartext:""}); UpdateContext({resettext:true}); UpdateContext({resettext:false})
and set TextInput1.Reset to:

resettext

Let me know how it goes.

I appreciate your response

That second option is what i was on, but i wasn't flipping the flags to false and then true, i was just flipping them to true.

So that helped.

The .IsPressed doesnt seem to be an option

Again second option gave me what I needed so i thank you.
