Reset all CheckBoxes after submittion!

[pappasym153]

Hello everybody, I am working on a project for daily inspection of forklifts. Specifically, when I enter submit, appears another button having the chance to submit another form I want when I enter this button all my checkboxes to be reseted. Thank you in advance, I share my code below:

date = st.date_input("Date")
employee_name = st.selectbox("Employee Name", ["Simeon Papadopoulos", "Alexandridis Christos"])
num_forklifts = st.selectbox("Number of Forklifts", ["ME 119135", "ME 125321"])
inspection_fields = [
    {"name": "Brake Inspection", "checked": False, "broken": False, "comment": ""},
    {"name": "Engine", "checked": False, "broken": False, "comment": ""},
    {"name": "Lights", "checked": False, "broken": False, "comment": ""},
    {"name": "Tires", "checked": False, "broken": False, "comment": ""},
]
for i, field in enumerate(inspection_fields):
    st.subheader(field["name"])
    field["checked"] = st.checkbox("Checked", key=f"checked_{i}")
    field["broken"] = st.checkbox("Breakdown", key=f"broken_{i}")
    if field["broken"] and not field["comment"]:
        st.warning(f"Please provide comments for {field['name']} breakdown.")
    field["comment"] = st.text_area("Comments", max_chars=50, height=10, key=f"comment_{i}")
if st.button("Submit"):
    st.success("Form submitted successfully!")
    if st.button("Submit Another Form"):
        st.experimental_session_state.pop("form_data", None)
        for field in inspection_fields:
            field["checked"] = False
            field["broken"] = False
            field["comment"] = ""

Hi @pappasym153

Since you’re having nested buttons, the app reset is to be expected owing to the inherent app logic of Streamlit. To circumvent this, you’ll need to use Session State for the first and second button so that the app knows the button selection status.

Please go through our in-depth video on Session state and the Streamlit Docs page on Session State.

Best regards,
Chanin

Thank you very much for your reply I try to catch it!

I tried to do it with Session State but the same result. If someone can help I would be grateful.
