That should work. Do you have a small runnable example. Perhaps something else is going on.

There is not enough context to see the issue. Please share a minimal, runnable example.

Hi Elliot,
Thank you for getting back to me regarding this issue. The error I printed out while running the script is 'super' object has no attribute '__getattr__'
Attached is the snippet of the .py code and .kv code pertaining to this particular field and function. This particular field is inside a ScrollView, but I am still referencing it the same way I am further up the code when I assign the text to upload to the database, which works fine. I would not think there is a difference in referencing the text in the clear function versus the function grabbing the text for the database. I am using the same reference in both, and both are in the same function.
Thanks.

Subject: [kivy-users] Issue clearing text from a multiline text field
Hello. I am trying to clear text fields before leaving a screen. I am able to clear non-multiline fields, but for some reason, I cannot clear the text in the multiline text field.
I am able to use the multiline text input by users for uploads to a database, as well as assign it to variables, but it will not clear using a simple self.ids.add_notes_text.text = "". (The ID of the text field is add_notes_text.)
Is there a different way to do it since it is a multiline text field?
Thanks for the assistance.

I generally prefer to look at code I can run. I will take a look. Please also post the full traceback that shows the error.

Subject: [kivy-users] Issue clearing text from a multiline text field
Hello. I am trying to clear text fields before leaving a screen. I am able to clear non-multiline fields, but for some reason, I cannot clear the text in the multiline text field.
I am able to use the multiline text input by users for uploads to a database, as well as assign it to variables, but it will not clear using a simple self.ids.add_notes_text.text = "". (The ID of the text field is add_notes_text.)
Is there a different way to do it since it is a multiline text field?
Thanks for the assistance.

I suggest removing the try/except block in:
add_participant_submit(self):
You will get a more useful traceback. An except clause with out a specific error being caught – can result in difficult to debug code.

It is a reference error on the add_referred_BY field.text. I had it coded as add_referred_DATE.text. I am so sorry for the incorrect question, but thank you for reminding me that having the traceback when there are these issues is the best way to figure out the issue.
