• Searched main docs for your problem www.PySimpleGUI.org
• Looked for Demo Programs that are similar to your goal. It is recommend you use the Demo Browser! Demos.PySimpleGUI.org
• None of your GUI code was generated by an AI algorithm like GPT
• If not tkinter - looked for Demo Programs for specific port
• For non tkinter - Looked at readme for your specific port if not PySimpleGUI (Qt, WX, Remi)
• Run your program outside of your debugger (from a command line)
• Searched through Issues (open and closed) to see if already reported Issues.PySimpleGUI.org
• Have upgraded to the latest release of PySimpleGUI on PyPI (lastest official version)
• Tried running the Development Build. Your problem may have already been fixed but not released

Detailed Description

Content of Input and Multiline elements with option do_not_clear=False, cleared when CalendarButton clicked.

IMO, they should not be cleared.

Code To Duplicate

import PySimpleGUI as sg

layout = [
    [sg.Input("Input Element", expand_x=True, do_not_clear=False)],
    [sg.Multiline("Multiline Element", size=(40, 5), expand_x=True, do_not_clear=False)],
    [sg.Input(key='-DATE-', expand_x=True),
     sg.CalendarButton("Date")],
    [sg.Button("Add task")],
]
window = sg.Window("Title", layout)

while True:

    event, values = window.read()

    if event == sg.WIN_CLOSED:
        break

window.close()

Screenshot, Sketch, or Drawing

In the beginning,

After CalendarButton Date clicked,

Content of Input and Multiline elements cleared !

[Jerry1111111]

it's 'do_not_clear'. so if setting to false, it will be cleared ; )

it's 'do_not_clear'. so if setting to false, it will be cleared ; )

I knew it, It's not my question here.

The question is

• Need to input some data, include the date selected by CalendarButton.
• Need those Input and Multiline elements with option do_not_clear=False to be clear after each record Add.

then

Other data entried will be clear if there's one calendar data selected by that CalendarButton.
