💡 The Challenge: In Power Apps, resetting multiple controls to their default state can be a tedious task if you are resetting each control individually using the Reset function. It not only makes the app less efficient but also clutters the code with repetitive statements.

✅ The Solution: To streamline the process and maintain a clean code structure, you can reset all controls at once using a single variable. This approach allows you to reset all controls globally, saving time and reducing the complexity of your app.

🔧 How It’s Done:

1. Create a Context Variable: Initialize a context variable, say ResetVar, at the app’s onset or screen’s OnVisible property.
2. Link to Controls: Link all the controls you wish to reset to this variable by setting their Reset property to ResetVar.
3. Trigger Reset: Whenever you want to reset all linked controls, simply toggle the ResetVar variable. You can do this in a button’s OnSelect property using the formula: UpdateContext({ResetVar: !ResetVar}).

🎉 Result: You now have a mechanism that allows you to reset all linked controls globally with a single action, making your app more efficient and your code cleaner.

⚠️ Important Note: Ensure to test the reset functionality thoroughly to confirm that all controls reset correctly and maintain their default values as expected.

Key Advantages:

1. Efficiency: Reset all controls globally with a single action, reducing the time and effort needed in coding individual reset functions.
2. Cleaner Code: Avoid cluttering your code with repetitive reset functions, leading to a cleaner and more maintainable app structure.
3. User Experience: Enhance the user experience by ensuring a quick and seamless reset functionality, fostering user satisfaction and app usability.
