Appian Community and Appian Academy are being upgraded. From July 24–August 3, the Appian Community will be in read-only mode. During this time, the site will be read-only and user registration will be disabled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but a more secure, stable, and performant Community experience is coming soon!
The new Appian Community launches August 3, followed by Appian Academy on August 7. During the migration, Appian Community Edition, Appian Academy, Documentation, Certifications, Instructor-led Customer Training, Partner Sales Training & Accreditation, and Forum (for Appian Partners and Customers only) will remain available.
Is there any way to reset the value to null when only the date or time is entered in a datetimefield?
Screenshots attached
1. Enter only the date in 'Fecha entrega en mano'
2. Click on CANCELAR and confirm
3. Click on EDITAR again
4. As can be seen in the screenshot, the previously entered value is displayed by default. Appian does not reset the value to null for datetimefields. However, for fields other than datetimefields, it does reset them and previously entered values do not appear.

How do you manage the overall interface state? Is this the only information you might need to reset somehow?
In a dynamic interface where I switch between larger interface sections, I use additional saveInto statements in buttons to control the state of the data.
The only issue with the datetimefield component is that it causes problems when I enter just the date or the time, even though the value of the local variable reverts to its previous value after clicking ‘Cancel’. It seems to be an Appian issue with that specific component, because we’re using a textfield that employs the same input rule to display the value as the datetimefield, and it displays correctly.
