Add a Clear Relationships Action to a Transition

Overview

The Clear Relationships action clears the values from selected fields on a form (excluding formulas). This is particularly helpful to users who are working with existing assessments because they avoid the need to go into the assessment and manually remove data that's no longer applicable.

For example, the Clear Relationships action could be used when a user is relaunching an assessment.

Before you can create this action on a workflow state, the fields must be added to the object type as components and a transition must be created.
