ResetActionListener does not appear to work for sub regions

Question

I have input fields that are contained within a region. Outside of this region is my Cancel button which contains the af:resetActionListener tag. When pressing Cancel, input fields outside of the region reset as I expect them to, however, input fields contained within the region do not reset at all. Does the resetActionListener behave this way by design, or was it not designed to handle this case?

Answer 1

I appreciate the response, however, partialTriggers are not the issue here. I already have a panelGroupLayout, which contains the input fields, as a partial target of the cancel button, and have confirmed that the fields are getting refreshed (by using an outputText which fetches the current time). I believe this is an issue with the resetActionListener's ability to reach input fields contained within a region. Placing a resetActionListener on a cancel button within the region resets the fields as one would expect, however, I need to have the cancel button outside of the region. Here is an idea of the code structure which is not working to reset the input fields with an resetActionListener:
<af:commandButton text="cancel" id="formCancel"
actionListener="#{pageFlowScope.myBean.cancelActionListener}"
partialSubmit="true" immediate="true">
<af:resetActionListener/>
</af:commandButton>
<af:region value="#{bindings.mypagdef.regionModel}"
partialTriggers="::formCancel"/>
And it's in this region that my input fields, which are not getting reset, exist. I have stripped out several panel form, group, and stretch layouts, and a template usage to simplify the example code structure, but I don't believe those have anything to do with the problem.
