## The fix

The [CRUD guide](https://laravel-vuejs.space/laravel-inertia-vue-crud) redirects to the list, which unmounts the form. You only need `onSuccess` when the user stays on the same page, such as a comment box under a post.

```vue
<script setup lang="ts">
import { useForm } from "@inertiajs/vue3";

const form = useForm({ body: "" });

function submit() {
  form.post("/comments", {
    preserveScroll: true,
    onSuccess: () => form.reset("body"),
  });
}
</script>
```

`onSuccess` runs when the visit finishes without validation errors. `form.reset("body")` clears that key and its error. Other keys stay.

## What to avoid

> **Gotcha**
>
> Do not call `form.reset()` in the submit handler before `form.post`. The payload is already empty by the time Inertia reads it. Do not reset on `onError`. The user needs the text they just typed in order to fix it.
