Is it possible to clear a prior field when using the 'Duplicate' button in Editor?

I am utilizing the Duplicate Button feature to enable adding entries to an existing (master) item, by capturing the item's master ID. However, I wish to 'erase' the text from the prior entry when the Editor window opens. My searches haven't led me to a solution. Can you point me in the right direction?

Okay. I was able to modify the function of the Duplicate Button. This solution appears to be working fine.

        buttons: [
//            { extend: "create", editor: editor },
//            { extend: "edit",   editor: editor },
            {
                extend: "selected",
                text: 'Add Note',
                action: function ( e, dt, node, config ) {
                    // Place the selected row into edit mode (but hidden),
                    // then get the values for all fields in the form
                    var values = editor.edit(
                            table.row( { selected: true } ).index(),
                            false
                        )
                        .val();
 
                    // Create a new entry (discarding the previous edit) and
                    // set the values from the read values
                    editor
                        .create( {
                            title: 'Add new service note',
                            buttons: 'Add note'
                        } )
                        .set( values )
                        .set( 'svc_1notes.note', '' );
                }
            }
//            { extend: "remove", editor: editor }
        ],
