I think this should be easy, and I’m just missing it…

I have a text input that’s part of a form container, and I want to reset it after a successful write to the database. In the workflow, I don’t see anywhere to reset the form, or reset the specific control… it has a “placeholder” value that I’d like to appear again once the form has been successfully written.

What am I missing??

You need to update its value via “change variable value” or “reset variables”
