What is the proper way to clear a dashboard from? Just send an empty array payload like for a table? msg.payload = [ ] for example?

You would feed a object of null values for each payload property of the form. e.g. {"test1":null,"test2":null,"test3":null} If the last form item is required it will show red.

Yes a form not a 'from' of course. So you can't clear an entire form? You have to explicitly set each field to null, blank, whatever? Interesting. And yet, when you click the submit button, the form is cleared of course, it is such behavior I wanted to mimic. Maybe easier to just send message t…

You can do it with some custom front-end javascript: const { myForm } = document.forms; myForm.reset();
