Form stay filled with old values

Hi everyone,

I’ve got a page which serves both for creating a new contact and editing an existing one (if there is an id or not in the url, the content will be pre-filled or not).

My issue: after having saved a new contact or edited an existing one, the page for creating a new one is now “filled” with the old values.

I say “filled”, because these values are linked to an object, and the object is correctly initialized as an empty object. So if I try to save the new contact, it will failed because the “model” is empty even if the view is filled…

How can I prevent the form from remember the previous values?

Thank you !

I am using f7 v1, vue.js, and I4m using the app-famework.

Below the source code:

Try to use value + @input instead of v-model like:

<f7-input :value="someValue" @input="someValue = $event.target.value">

Thank you for your answer. I’ve tried, and sadly, it doesn’t solve the issue :frowning:
