Hi Community,

I am creating an expense claim form with Powerapps. In this screen which is the expense report header screen, the idea is that when I click on "Create", it should firstly clear the form and bring me to the next screen (second screenshot below) for me to key in the individual line items. However the form does not clear when I hit "Create".

In this screen, i.e. the line item screen, when I click on "Save & Create New Line Item", it should clear the form and allow me to enter the subsequent line items. "Save" button should clear the form as well and bring me to a summary screen of all line items created. Same as above, when I click on either buttons, the form does not clear.

I'm using ClearCollect(DefaultRecord, ""). The datasource is a SharePoint list "Expense_Report2".

Kindly advise. Thank you for your help.

Hi @elleeyl

You can clear the text input input controls by using the Reset property of the text input controls. Taking the header screen as an example, you can set a variable value to true, and then back to false. Here's what you would add to the formula in your 'create' button, just before the call to Navigate.

UpdateContext({clearHeaderScreen:true}); UpdateContext({clearHeaderScreen:false});

For each text input control on your screen, you would set the Reset property to clearHeaderScreen.

When you now click the create button, the text input controls should clear.
