selenium clear() command doesn't clear the element

Question

I have been writing selenium scripts for a while in Java. I encountered a very weird issue today.

Here is the issue: I cleared a text field using webelement.clear()

Answer 1

Hope this helps to clear the field and then sendKeys() the needed value

 while (!inputField.getAttribute("value").equals("")) {
        inputField.sendKeys(Keys.BACK_SPACE);
       }
        inputField.sendKeys("your_value");
