Hi all,

When I answer an open input and then submit, I am shown a suggested answer in the feedback. But when I press clear to reenter information, the suggested answers still shows. Any way for the functionality to reset the entire question when I press clear

I guess that’s because you’ve chosen to display the ' **Display Feedback Inline** option (present under Behavior). If you switch that off, and instead choose to show the feedback in a pop-up as usual, the issue will cease to exist.

Here’s a way of doing it. It uses three components, two pieces of logic, and one variable. It’s a bit of extra faff but makes a good “compare your response to model answer”.

Might be worth a feature request, @Christopher_Spencer
