While using Variables it's showing values/results from previous record

[Anonymous]

I'm having a huge issue. I created a form using a number of variables to reference a field value which drives whether other fields are visible, required or the default value.
My problem is that when you submit or update an item/record, the variable does not clear and it shows in the new record.

For example, i have a button that if selected Set(varNotes "Ready"), then the default for datacardvalue1 is varNotes.

When i save and close this item and i go to the next item, the text in datacardvalue1 shows as "Ready" even thought i have not clicked the button yet. It's passing over the information and i dont want it to do that. Each item/record should be acting separately. Thank you!

Hi @Anonymous 

Variables do not automatically clear as you move across screens

So every time you move/Navigate to next item make sure you reset the variable to empty

I have tried that but it didnt work. Can you please share an example on where should i place the reset function?

Hi @Anonymous 

When you are Navigating to your item screen using the Nvaigate function

right before it

use Set(varNotes, "");Navigate....

Try this out

Would the value still be saved to the field?
Meaning would the datacardvalue1.text = “Ready” in SharePoint?

Hi @Anonymous 

As long as you clear the value only when you show the new item form to the user

Please share some screenshots of your formulas and your App

Here is what is happening:

I have an add item button (plus sign) that sends the textinput value to the notes field (datacardvalue104) through the variable varNotes. This part is working fine; however, the varNotes variable needs to clear after the value (in this case "Text") is saved to the Notes field in sharepoint.

Hi @Anonymous 

The form that you are using to save data to sharepoint, you must be having a sumitform action

For this form control, there is an OnSuccess property which only runs when data is successfully posted to data source (in your case the SharePoint list)

In this property, you can clear the variable using Set(varNotes,"")
