Default Creating a reset button to clear fields

Can anyone here help me with this form I have created using drop downs? I would like the reset button I added revert the form back to the original after someone uses it and accidentally saves it.



Thanks in advance!

Attached is the form

If you first clear the fields, then save the document as a dotx template so that your users can use the template to create their documents, there will be no risk of anyone saving over it.

I note, too, that you've used a date content control in addition to your formfields. Content controls and formfeilds were not designed to work together and trying to use them that way can cause problems. Use a text formfield configured for date entry instead.
