Refresh lightning:recordEditForm After Save

There is no standard functions to refresh lightning:recordEditForm after save record. You can use aura:if to re-render the field section inside record edit form, after successfully saved the record.

Lightning Component:

<aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,force:appHostable">
    
    <!--Attributes-->
    <aura:attribute name="reloadForm" type="boolean" default="true" />
    
    <!--Component Start-->
    <div class="slds-m-around_xx-large">
        <lightning:recordEditForm objectApiName="Account"
                                  aura:id="accForm"
                                  onload="{!c.handleOnLoad}"
                                  onsubmit="{!c.handleOnSubmit}"
                                  onsuccess="{!c.handleOnSuccess}"
                                  onerror="{!c.handleOnError}">
            <lightning:messages />
            <aura:if isTrue="{!v.reloadForm}">
                <lightning:inputField fieldName="Name"/>
                <lightning:inputField fieldName="AccountNumber"/>
                <lightning:inputField fieldName="Industry"/>
                <lightning:inputField fieldName="Phone" />
                <lightning:inputField fieldName="Website" />
                <aura:set attribute="else">
                    Saving...
                </aura:set>
            </aura:if>
            <lightning:button variant="brand" type="submit" name="save" label="Save" />
        </lightning:recordEditForm>
    </div>
    <!--Component End-->
</aura:component>

Lightning JS Controller:

({
    handleOnLoad : function(component, event, helper) {
         
    },
     
    handleOnSubmit : function(component, event, helper) {
        
    },
     
    handleOnSuccess : function(component, event, helper) {
         component.set("v.reloadForm", false);
        component.set("v.reloadForm", true);
    },
     
    handleOnError : function(component, event, helper) {
         
    },
     
})

Custom Submit Button for a lightning:recordeditform

Lightning Component:

<aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,force:appHostable">
    <!--Component Start-->
    <div class="slds-m-around_xx-large">
        <lightning:recordEditForm objectApiName="Account" aura:id="accForm">
            <lightning:messages />
            <lightning:inputField fieldName="Name"/>
            <lightning:inputField fieldName="AccountNumber"/>
            <lightning:inputField fieldName="Industry"/>
            <lightning:inputField fieldName="Phone" />
            <lightning:inputField fieldName="Website" />
        </lightning:recordEditForm>
        <lightning:button variant="brand" type="button" name="Save" label="Save" onclick="{!c.handleCreateAccount}" />
    </div>
    <!--Component End-->
</aura:component>

Lightning JS Controller:

({
    handleCreateAccount : function(component, event, helper) {
        component.find("accForm").submit();
    }
})

Set or Modify Field Values in Onsubmit Event of lightning:recordeditform

Sometimes we can have a requirement to add or modify field values in onsubmit event of lightning:recordeditform. In below example, I’m creating “Lead” object record using lightning:recordeditform and in onsubmit event, I’m adding “Description” field value of “Lead” object.

Lightning Component:

<!--Sample.cmp--> 
<aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes,force:appHostable">
    
    <!--Component--> 
    <div class="slds-m-around--xx-large">
        <lightning:card title="Lead" iconName="standard:lead" class="slds-p-around_medium">
            <lightning:recordEditForm aura:id="leadCreateForm" objectApiName="Lead" onsubmit="{!c.handleOnSubmit}">
                <lightning:messages />
                
                <div class="slds-grid">
                    <div class="slds-col slds-size_1-of-2 slds-p-around_medium">
                        <lightning:inputField fieldName="FirstName"></lightning:inputField>
                    </div>
                    <div class="slds-col slds-size_1-of-2 slds-p-around_medium">
                        <lightning:inputField fieldName="LastName"></lightning:inputField>
                    </div>
                </div>
                
                <div class="slds-grid">
                    <div class="slds-col slds-size_1-of-2 slds-p-around_medium">
                        <lightning:inputField fieldName="Email"></lightning:inputField>
                    </div>
                    <div class="slds-col slds-size_1-of-2 slds-p-around_medium">
                        <lightning:inputField fieldName="Phone"></lightning:inputField>
                    </div>
                </div>
                
                <div class="slds-grid">

                    </div>
                </div>
                
                <lightning:button type="submit" label="Save" variant="brand"/>
            </lightning:recordEditForm>
        </lightning:card>
    </div>
</aura:component>

Lightning JS Controller:

({
    handleOnSubmit : function(component, event, helper) {
        event.preventDefault(); //Prevent default submit
        var eventFields = event.getParam("fields"); //get the fields
        eventFields["Description"] = 'Lead was created from Lightning RecordEditForm'; //Add Description field Value
        component.find('leadCreateForm').submit(eventFields); //Submit Form
    }
})
