Posted on by MIA27

I have 2 drop down like below and its arrange datasource:

JobType (dropdown) - item is as below

["MINOR-REPAIR","MAJOR-REPAIR","SERVICE","INSPECTION"]

Job-Category (Dropdown) - item is as below :

["SERVICE-A-(500 HRS SVC)","SERVICE-B-(1000 HRS SVC)","SERVICE-C-(500 HRS SVC)","SERVICE-D-(2000 HRS SVC)","ENGINE","FUEL SYSTEM"]

When the user want to enter into new form, the last selection of the dropdown remains, as shown in the image, it can be noted that in the new form, the first row of the datasource is not same.

I want to make reset for the dropdown field when the new form is opened.

Please advise

Hi @MIA27 ,

If this is a drop-down (not a combo box), firstly set AllowEmptySelection to true. Then you can set the Reset property of both to varReset and on your New Record code put at the start

Set(varReset,false); Set(varReset,true)

Please click Accept as solution if my post helped you solve your issue. This will help others find it more readily. It also closes the item. If the content was useful in other ways, please consider giving it Thumbs Up.

Sir,
Thank you for your advise.
First I made the the dropdown AllowEmptySelection = True

But could not under the second part of your solution. Where to call the code, on my edit form, there is no Onstart
You mean to put the code at the App - OnStart property?.

Please guide more how to apply.

Regards.

Also I checked the Tick button which navigate to the new Form code is as below
OnSelect : NewForm(EditForm1);Navigate(EditScreen1, ScreenTransition.None)

Therefore, unable to understand where to call the below
Set(varReset,false); Set(varReset,true)

And also want to understand, for the both the dropdown it will work, or need to call separately for each.
Please advise

Based on Mr. Warren Advise, after several test of the code, found the below both working, But confused which one should I apply - as I posted about my confusion at which startup but no answer received, Therefore I tried the below

From Browse Screen - On Plus(+) Button (On select property) - I put the below Code
Set(varReset,false);Set(varReset,true);NewForm(EditForm1);Navigate(EditScreen1, ScreenTransition.None)

From EditForm1 - OnVisible property applied below
Set(varReset,false);Set(varReset,true)

Please advise, which one should be best to keep.

@MIA27 ,

OnVisible of EditForm1 would be best
