    Hi @rawanalk , Use this variable gblvar_Reset on Reset property of dropdown.

    Add below code on the on the button which allow user to edit the form Or the add below code on the OnVisible of edit screen.

    Hi @rawanalk ,

    If the drop down control is in a Form control, you should be able to simply use:

    Reset(NameOfYourDropdownControl)

    Hi @rawanalk,

    Set the DefaultSelectedItems property of the ComboBox as:

    If(FormName.Mode=FormMode.Edit,{Value:""})
