    UIViewRoot viewRoot = context.getViewRoot();
    List children = viewRoot.getChildren();

    resetInputValues(children);

            resetInputValues(component.getChildren());
        } else {
            if (component instanceof EditableValueHolder) {
                EditableValueHolder input = (EditableValueHolder) component;
                input.resetValue();
            }
        }
    }
  }
}

And use it whenever you need to clean your local values:
