* **Action**: Clear Text From Cell
* **Input Value**: N/A
  * The **Clear Text From Cell** action does not required any input value in the **Input Value** column. It simply removes any existing text or content from the targeted text box.
* **Output Value:** {Status}
  * The result of the text clearing operation is stored in this **{Status}** dynamic variable with the following possible values:
    * **True**: If the text is cleared successfully.
