Hello,
You can set the Reset property value of the textbox control to resettextbox.
On select of submit button after doing your patch or update functionlity reset the textbox values by using updatecontext.

UpdateContext({resettextbox:true}); UpdateContext({resettextbox:false}).

This will clear up the values of textbox control on second form.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi @Anonymous

When you click on the button to make a new item - you would probably be setting the following

NewForm(formname);Navigate(screen)

Just add ResetForm option to this (it will reset entire form for you)
ResetForm(formname);NewForm(formname);Navigate(screen)

Thanks for the reply. Is not a form exactly. I have comboboxes, dropdown, labels and date pickers. How can I set all that to empty values, wich is what happens when I first enter the screen

Hi @Anonymous

OnVisible of that screen or on clikc of the button which navigates to that screen use

Reset(controlname);

You would have to reset each one of your controls manually

The approach which I had explained earlier for specifc controls only.

It will work for combobox, dropdownlist, label, textbox , datetime control as well.

For every control you need to set Reset property to -resetControl and onSelect of button you have to
make it UpdateContext({resetControl:true}) , UpdateContext({resetControl:false}).

Hope this helps.

Thanks & Regards,

Why would a user select a gallery item when they are creating a new item?

So every time they navigate to the new form screen do they select a gallery item?

Share screenshot for clarity
