Clear form in JSM

[Vishal]

Hi Guys,

I have a select list field called Agreement with values New & Existing, if the user selects Existing, the form prefills couple of fields with default values but if the user change the mind & select back New as an option, the prefilled values doesn't go away, I would like to clear all those values in one go, is there a method to clear entire form with null at once ?

I know, I can do it for each field one by one, but I would like to do it at once, is there a way to do that ? If yes, help with the information.

Thanks

There is no built-in clear form option in scriptrunner.

You have to either hard code each field to clear, or you can clear every field systematically with a loop:

I haven't tried, but something like this might work:

def agreementFld = getFieldByName('Agreement')
if (agreementFld.value == 'New') {
    fieldScreen.tabs.each { tab ->
        tab.fieldScreenLayoutItems.findAll { 
            it.fieldId != agreementFld.fieldId 
        }.each {
            getFieldById(it.fieldId).setFormValue('')
        }
    }
}

 It should reset the form entry for all fields except the Agreement field.

Hi @PD Sheehan

Thanks for your reply but I am getting error as below when I am trying to clear field, could you please take a look.

Thanks!

fieldChanged is a string that already represents the fieldId.

So you can use it like this: getFieldById(fieldChanged).

Then, you cna use the resulting formField object and access it's fieldId property.

But you can't access fieldChanged.fieldId since fieldChanged is a string and it won't have any properties to access.

You can try:

tab.fieldScreenLayoutItems.findAll { 
    it.fieldId != changedField 
}.each {
    getFieldById(it.fieldId).setFormValue('')
}

This works for the most part, but having issues with multi select fields not clearing with this approach.  Any ideas on how to clear multi-select fields?
