Question..... and i think im close....

I have a field called Temperature (number field in sharepoint). I want to put a range that the users can enter into it. I also added a label. i added this code and it works EXCEPT the Reset part.

If(Value(Temperature)<90 || Value(Temperature)>105,

UpdateContext({ShowErrorMsg: true}); Reset(Temperature),

UpdateContext({ShowErrorMsg: false})

)

i want to put this code on the submit button so that the user can NOT submit if the user is out of range.

i done understand why im getting an error on the Reset part of this. I get a "Invalid argument type (Number), expecting a control value instead." Not sure what that means. This is the only part of my code that is giving me an error. What am i doing wrong here?

Please you stated that Temperature is a Column in your list. What is the name of the Textbox to that users will enter the value 90.
The red error is that before you are reset a column instead of the Textbox

If this error is happening in the label then the reason is that Reset() can't be used in a label but it can be used in a button. If you add this formula to the button the error should go away.

Hi @cnorris135 ,

Please notice the Reset function's usage:

The Reset function resets a control to its Default property value.

So if you want to use this function, you need to pay attention to three points:

1)you need to reset a control, not a variable

2)you could not reset a control which has Default property, not including label control (not have Default property)

3)you need to use this function in one action property

Based on the formula that you provided, it seems like Temperature is a fieldname. So you got that kind of error message.

Could you describe more clearly about the feather that you want? Do you want to reset the textinput for Temperature field? or anything else?

If my assumption is right, you could try this:
Reset(Temperaturetextinput) //please replace with your control name

Here's a doc about this function for your reference:

Best regards,
