How to clear the (people)picker control when items are added manually

[rbarten]

When I enter values in for example the people picker and then press a button to submit, I want to clear the values which were added to the picker control.
Currently I don't see an option to do that. For example Reset([control]) does work for a DatePicker but does not work for a People or 'normal' picker. Any ideas?

Hi @rbarten,

The Issues 236 has been raised. This is a temporary solution that I found.

Button.OnSelect
It would be best to replace User() with functions like AddColumns, Filter...etc. Basically, you need to add items to the collection and then set it to blank. You will need 2 Collections if 1 collection is not working,

ClearCollect(
    PreSelectedUserCollection,
    User()
);
ClearCollect(
    PreSelectedUserCollection,
    Blank()
);

Only if you are using PreSelectedUserCollection, set the column name from the collection in PeoplePicker.PersonaKey, PeoplePicker.PersonaName...etc

PeoplePicker.Items
This is only for preselected or leaves blank.

PreSelectedUserCollection

PeoplePicker.OnSearch
Search items

ClearCollect(
    UserCollection,
    AddColumns(
        Filter(
            'AAD Users',
            ThisRecord.'AAD User Account Enabled' = 'AAD User Account Enabled (AAD Users)'.Yes
        ),
        "UPN",
        ThisRecord.'User Principal Name',
        "DisplayName",
        ThisRecord.'Display Name
    )
)

PeoplePicker.Suggestions_Items

Search(
    UserCollection,
    Self.SearchText,
    "DisplayName",
    "UPN"
)

Only if you are using UserCollection, set the column name from the collection in PeoplePicker.SuggestionKey, PeoplePicker.SuggestionName...etc

If you still have problems, please let me know.

Exactly the same issue.

Items property:

Blank()

OnSearch property of people picker:
`
ClearCollect(
colUserCollectionNovosUsers,
AddColumns(
Filter(
UtilizadoresdoOffice365.SearchUser(
{
searchTerm: Self.SearchText,
top: 500
}
),
!(Mail in Self.SelectedPeople.PersonaKey) &&
!(Mail in Utilizadores_1.Title)

        ),
        "SuggestionImgUrl",
        Substitute(
            JSON(
                UtilizadoresdoOffice365.UserPhotoV2(Id),
                JSONFormat.IncludeBinaryData
            ),
            """",
            ""
        ),
        "SuggestionKey",
        Mail,
        "SuggestionName",
        DisplayName,
        "SuggestionRole",
        JobTitle,
        "SuggestionPresence",
        "away"
    )
)`

Suggestions_Items property:
colUserCollectionNovosUsers

How to clear the people picker box after the form is submitted??

There should be a method, but I've tried:
Clear(colUserCollectionNovosUsers); ClearCollect(colUserCollectionNovosUsers, Blank());

But, it doesn't work.

Will there be any updates to the project? For Example, the people picker is still in preview and as far as I know there is no modern people picker control. The modern combo box seems to fall short.
Thanks
