Hi all,

Currently trying to clear out the signature pad area upon submission (in addition to submitting it to my db).

Using the following line at the end of my script seems to have no effect, but also no errors are thrown. This is in a [onSignatureSubmitted] event. Perspective 8.1.18.

```auto
self.clearSignature()

```

Advice is appreciated!

Thanks!

Possibly disregard? This seems to be a bug with the preview mode of the Designer program?

Seems to work flawlessly in Perspective but not in Designer.

General rule of thumb I would say that applies to both Vision and Perspective - always test in a live client. Designer is very good at imitating a live client but still occasionally falls short.
