Clear selection action
Use the Clear selection action to clear but not delete selections made in a dropdown list, table fields, or radio button lists at runtime.
This action does not affect the data stored in the dropdown list, table field, or radio button lists.
For a dropdown list, the Clear selection action clears the currently selected value leaving the dropdown control blank; you can still select new values. For a table, it just clears the current field and row, and for a radio button list, it clears the selection leaving the radio button list blank.
