Text Entry Fields Reset
Here is what worked for me. Even though the slide is set to return to the initial state, the text field never returns to its initial blank state (but retains the user's text entry). In addition, when navigating backwards to the base layer, the text entry field is no longer editable. At least if the text were editable one could manually clear the field. I decided that it was not so critical for the text entry field to be blank as long as it was editable. My usual course of action when I want the user to navigate from a custom layer to the base layer, is to use the Hide Layer trigger on the custom layer. Well, we already know this trigger does not clear the text entry field on the base layer, even if reset to initial state is activated. What I tested (and it works) is that instead of using the Hide Layer trigger, I selected the Jump to this Slide trigger. I was hoping this action would clear the field, but at least the text entry field is editable (and the user can clear the field manually). The best part of this solution is that it does not require the use of any variables, so I'm happy. Hope this helps someone out there.
