Reset Datacard value to blank before submitting a form

Posted on by Mat_Out

Dear,

I have a SharePoint list with barcodes. People can click on a certain barcode and then give me some information. But once they give it back these questions need to be reset to blank. So once a new person comes he can fill in the questions. But it always needs to be tagged to the barcode.

Right now i am struggling with how to do the following function.

If(DataCardValue16.Selected.Value = "Beschikbaar"; Reset(DataCardValue11); SubmitForm(EditForm1))

So what i am trying to do here is. Button -> OnSelect > Function above. If a dropdown menu is selected on "Beschikbaar" then reset an other datacardvalue to blank otherwise submit the editform. But i keep getting errors that i can't use the reset function.

How can i make this function work?

With ki

The reason is that the control inside a form or gallery cannot be reset from outside the form directly.
Inorder to reset

If(DataCardValue16.Selected.Value = "Beschikbaar";Set(varreset,true), Set(varreset,false); SubmitForm(EditForm1)) you need to set variable value to true in first step and false in next step Use this variable in datacardvalue11 reset property

Thnx for the fast response. This way it changes back to the previous information. I want the Datacard value blank so there is no data at all. Is that also possible?

Currently its reset to default value unfortunately you cannot do empty directly only way is to set default value
if you want to reset to empty use Variable after resetvariable
If(DataCardValue16.Selected.Value = "Beschikbaar";Set(varreset,true), Set(varreset,false),Set(varMakeEmpty,true); SubmitForm(EditForm1))

Default property of Datacardvalue11

if(varMakeEmpty;"";Whatever the value you have now on this property)

Thnx for the quick respons again i appreciate it. This seems to work for text fiels. But how can i use this function:
If(varMakeEmpty;"";Whatever the value you have now on this property)

For DropDown menu's. I want to set drop down menu's also to the default state. But there was no value on the default property of dropdown menu's. How should the formule look like?

if no value on default this should do
If(DataCardValue16.Selected.Value = "Beschikbaar";Set(varreset,true), Set(varreset,false),Set(varMakeEmpty,true); SubmitForm(EditForm1))
