SharePoint modern list form with optional lookup column couldn't be cleared/reset
Is there a way to clear i.e. reset the value to blank for an optional lookup column. We have a list with lookup column. This column is set as optional. However, while creating new item as well as upd...
Seems to be a bug...did you try to update the column using the quick edit option in the list?
Yep...Can do in Quick edit view by deleting the selected value for lookup column. However, this isn't a user friendly solution at all.
Imagine a user filling-out a big form to create a new list item. If this user by accident or intentionally selects a value for lookup column then there will be no way to clear this value unless the user cancels the form and start again or save it anyway and ask an admin/power user to clear it for him.
Try adding a blank to the lookup list and order so its at the top.
This will allow the user to select effectively a blank :)
