Time picker is not clearing on IOS

Question

iOS

OutSystems Widgets

IOS version 15.1

Behavior is the same in a native build (IOS) as well as PWA.

I have noticed that when you select a time and then click 'reset' on a time picker (input of type time) in IOS, reset does not do anything. Expectations are that it should clear the time.

Has anyone found a way to get around this?

I'm using multiple input fields of type time. I'd be loathed to have to set a button for each field to clear the time.

TIA!

I have realized that I was confused about the functionality of the reset button. Reset doesn't mean clear, it just means set it to the last "saved value" if you have scrolled to another value.

It seems the only way to clear the value is to manually clear it on button click or something similar.

Dear Janet

What logic have you implemented on the Reset Button? One approach that you can follow is -

Set Time in the StartTime Properties
Click on Reset set the Variable = StartTime
It will be set to the Default time

In case the solution seems your irrelevant please share more details about the challenge you are facing.

Hey Manish,

I have not implemented any action on the reset button. It's a standard button which shows up on IOS when the input widget is clicked on.

I have attached an image for clarity.

Thanks,

Janet
