Field Rules and Clearing Data from Fields

asked on May 30, 2017

We have a form set up in such a way that if a user makes a selection, certain field rules show a number of fields.  Say the user populates these with data, and then changes their mind.  If the user selects another choice, but it also contains some of those fields, the data stays in the fields.  This behavior is happening when the "Ignore the date when the field/section page is hidden" is selected in the field rule.  This behavior seems to be different in earlier versions.  Is there now not a way to clear the fields when a new field rule has been chosen?

Raul,  Do you know what the JavaScript would be to clear the data from the form (a.k.a. reset form)?  I too have a form would like to refresh every time it is assigned as a task.  I appreciate any help.  Thanks!

I believe that fields that are displayed using a field rule, then populated with data and then later hidden by field rule, and then brought back by field rule keep their value by default (at least in 10.1). You would have to clear them via JavaScript.

The "Ignore the data when the field/section page is hidden" might be so that if you are using some type of database insert, emailing or something, the data is treated as blank. In other words, it does clears on the output.
