Hi,
This is a form in editing mode of existing record. Please help me to code Clear-button so it clears the text "Ris, bbq chunks" which is fetched from data source.

I tried below but didnt succeed:

Set the Reset value of the fields to a Variable (varReset will do) then use when you want to reset.

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

@Kudratilla - could you apply the below to a Button control,

UpdateContext({ctxReset: !ctxReset});

and then apply the below onto the Reset property of that field:

ctxReset

If you want the field to be blank, apply the below to the Default property of the DataCard (not the DataCardValue)

If( ctxReset, Blank(), ThisItem.'Your Field' )

Depending on how you're populating the Form, (e.g. via a Gallery selection), you may also want to include the below on the OnSelect property of the Gallery:

UpdateContext({ctxReset: false});

Thank you Imran-Ami,
I used your codes as instructed (inside button.OnSelect, TextField.Reset and Gallery.OnSelect) and I am only able to reset the field instead of making it blank.
So, if the field had a text "ABC" and when I change it to "ABCD" then your code resets it back to "ABC", but what I want is to be blank.

@Kudratilla - I am not sure if you fully read my solution. There is a section in my response which mentions what to do if you want to display blank.
