Hey, I've created a form in power apps for my team. The form has a SharePoint list as the data source. Sometimes when I submit the form the information populates to the SharePoint list, but the data I entered still appears on the form as if it didn't submit. This causes people to hit the submit button several times thinking their entry didn't enter which causes multiple items. What can I do to save this issue?

On the Submit button, choose OnSelect and do ResetForm(Form#) and that should clear it after submission. Form # is whatever your Form # is labeled.

Hi@dreaves1,
Based on the issue that you mentioned, do you want to reset the Form1 after submission?
Could you please share a bit more about your scenario?
Please try the set the OnSuccess property of the EditForm1 as below:

NewForm(Form1)

The NewForm() function makes the form populated with default values and the user can modify the values of the fields.
More details you check the following article for details:

Hi@dreaves1,
No matter the NewForm() function or the Reset() function, it will always change your form to the original default mode. For example, there so many ComboBoxes within your form, the DefaultSelectedItems property you set for these ComboBoxes will directly determine how the data will be displayed after it is reset.
If you set the DefaultSelectedItems to a specific value, it will always display it after it is reset, so as all of the controls within your form.
I know that you want to clear the field once you submit the form, so you should set the Default or DefaultSelectedItems of these controls within your form.
As an example, for a TextInput control, you should set the Default property as below:

""

For a ComboBox, you should set the DefaultSelectedItems property as below:

[]

For a DatePicker, do the same to DefaultDate property as below:

""

And for the Time Dropdown, you can set the Default property as below:

""

Set the OnSelect property of the Submit Button as below:
SubmitForm(EditForm1);ResetForm(EditForm1)
Check the following Gif.
Best Regards,
Qi
