Hi,

I don't know if you have done this or not but please make sure that your CLEAR action is VALIDATION INDEPENDENT. It will make sure that all fields get cleared even if there is some type check error from WD framework. for ex: characters in date field.

Thanks,

Use method set_attribute_null in the event handler of clear.

DATA lo_el_context TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
  DATA ls_context TYPE wd_this->element_context.
  DATA lv_att1 TYPE wd_this->element_context-attribute_name. "Name of attribute is Attribute_name
 
* get element via lead selection
  lo_el_context = wd_context->get_element( ).
 
  lo_el_context->set_attribute_null(
    name   = `ATTRBUTE_NAME`)." Give ur attribute name here

I hope it helps.

Hi,

The method INVALIDATE of of the context node interface, which cannot be used here. You need to use the method "IF_WD_SELECT_OPTIONS~RESET_ALL_SELECTION_FIELDS".This method will clear all the selection screen fields that you have on the UI. Just make sure that you are calling this method with the correct reference variable, the one which you used to create a select option.

Call this above mentioned method in the action handler method of the clear button that you have.

Hope this helps.

Hi,

If you have used the WDR_SELECT_OPTIONS component to create selection screen then you can use the standard RESET option provided by this component to clear the fields.

If not, then you need to clear the nodes/attributes which are bound to the selection screen fields and bind initial (null) values to the nodes/attributes bound to the select option fields.

Thanks,

Abhishek
