CMS form data is not cleared from local storage after form is submitted about platform HOT 5 CLOSED

I think I might've found a way where we don't need a custom event: we can probably just use the native reset event on forms.

The AJAX form-cms-handler.plugin.js could trigger a form reset (this.el.reset()) after submission, which even makes some sense semantically... the form is submitted via AJAX, and then the form itself is reset.

The form-preserver.plugin.js can then just clear the local storage on both submit and reset (which kind-of makes sense in any case - if a form is reset, we probably don't want to keep the information in local storage, anyway).

This way, we'd keep both plugins nicely uncoupled - what do you think?

I am not the JS pro, but sounds reasonable for me 😁

if you like, you can put that into a PR and let's see what our frontend guys think about that 🙂

We found the following existing issues which may help or are related to your topic:

• Form preserver iterates through wrong elements
• Privacy policy does not correctly redirect back to the form
• Dissapearing content in CMS editor
• CMS Page Editor Sidebar settings have no effect after page was saved
• Duplicating contact data results in empty form
• After an error in the registration form, the data is no longer displayed in full
• Contact form and privacy policy CMS widgets on top of each other lead to problems when closing
• Admin: Fields are not cleared after language switch
• contact form not working properly

Maybe we can introduce an event, that other JS plugins can emit and the preserver plugin is listening to. so custom submit-like stuff could also be handled.
