There are times when you want the form to clear if successful, but not if it fails. For example:

Fill in the register new user form.
But make the password something that will be unacceptable, like abc.
When you submit the form, it clears. Now you have to fill in every field again, not just the password field.

I would like the form to clear if the submission was successful, but not clear if there was an issue with one of the fields.

FYI st.experimental_rerun() is now just st.rerun(). But it doesn't have the desired effect, it left the form fields still populated even when the submission was successful.
