PowerApps Reset is a very useful function which basically used to set the control value to the default property value, any other change made by the user will be discarded. In this article, we will see how we can utilize this function with different PowerApps objects.
Note:
- Reset function of the control, resets the value to the default property value. E.g., Textbox default value is Test and if we reset it, the value of the textbox will be Test not the blank.
- ResetForm: You can reset all the controls’ values of the form just by using ResetForm, you don’t need to reset individual control within the form separately.
- You cannot reset controls that are within a Gallery or Edit formcontrol from outside those controls. You can reset controls from formulas on controls within the same gallery or form.

Syntax: ResetForm(<Name of the form>)
Here, there is one form having multiple fields/controls. Let’s say while filling up the form I want to reset all the Fields’s values to blank.
Doing this work for each control will be a time-consuming task. Or I can simply use this formula on button OnSelect property and that will default all the controls within the form: ResetForm
