Adding a Clear Fields Action to a Transition

Overview

The Clear Fields 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working with existing assessments because they avoid the need to go into the assessment and manually remove data that's no longer applicable.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 Fields 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.
