I am also experiencing this bug - calling Reset(component_name) from outside the component does nothing, while Calling Reset from within the Component seems to work just fine...
I also tried creating a boolean input parameter called "Reset" and ticked the "Raise On Reset when this value changes". When I put my component into an App, I give the Reset property a variable varResetComponent.
I then used Set(varResetComponent,false);Set(varResetComponent,true).
Nothing.
So the "Raise On Reset when value changes" doesn't work properly either - at least not if you change the value and then change it back immediately... (I have a feeling the compiler actually filters this type of stuff out!)
Adding a Timer inside my component doesn't work either - even when I try to change the value of the Timer Start variable, the timer just doesn't actually start.
Anyone else find a workaround to this bug?
Is there any news from Microsoft about fixing the bug?
@CarlosFigueira - I notice that you have worked on this very issue in the past - do you know anything about why OnReset doesn't work when called from outside an instance of a component?
