Clear/Delete multiple datacards

Posted on by torasan

I need help with deleting/clearing multiple data cards with different data types.

I have a form that uses patch function to duplicate the form. I am trying to build a button within the patched form to clear part of the form data cards.

The data types I am trying to clear are: text, date, and choice. (text and date have value that has been patched from the other forms. And I am trying to clear these values with a button)

I was able to clear "choice" data values with using,

Set(ResetControl, true); Set(RestControl, false)

However, it does not work on text and date data types.

Any suggestions would be helpful. Thank y'all in advance!!

Do I use that for the button "On select"? or on the text data cards?

It still doesn't work.
The way I have the form set up is:
2 text boxes, 2 datepickers, and 5 choices.
When I use "reset" function on button (On Select), it resets the 5 choices. Not the 2 textboxes and 2 datepickers.
They are all in the "Edit Form" Screen that connects to 2 other screens on powerapp.

Check the Default setting for the text boxes, as they will reset but will reset to the default value.
As for the datepicker, I was struggling with the same issue last week however i did sort it...

Here's how:
So here's my datepicker:
Set the 'InputTextPlaceholder' to blank
Set the trash can OnSelect to
UpdateContext({varClearDate:false});
Reset(CarrierEditRatingDateInput);
UpdateContext({varClearDate:true});
Set the Datepicker DefaultDate to
If(varClearDate=true,"",LookUp(Datasource,Datakey=Datakey,ResultToReturn))
This SHOULD allow you to reset the text box nicely.
Alternatively you can set the datepicker to 'Editable' which allows you to type in the date and delete it with the keyboard, however you lose a lot of validation from the textbox itself.

I hope this helps 🙂
