Hello,

I have a form that has a lot of fields on it. I'm trying to figure out a way
to create a button that a user could click on to remove the current contents
of all fields. I'm having a problem with the form where a CS Rep starts
taking info form a customer and goes down one path of Q&A which fills in data
and then they find out from the customer that they should really have chosen
questions along a different line. What I'd like to do is be able for them to
click a button and have all the answers removed so they can start over fresh.

Is something like that possible with code?

Thanks,
Andrea

Have you already tried using rules on the button that will set the value of
the fields to an empty string?

I haven't done that yet - i was hoping there would be an easy way to do them
all at one time. I have over 50 fields and I didn't want to have to go in and
do each one manually. If that's my only option however, I will do that.

Rules are not your only option. You could also write code, but the question
then becomes: How comfortable are you writing code? The task in itself is not
complex, but depending on your level as a user and/or as a programmer the
ease with which it can be done may vary greatly.
