JavaScript Not Working in Unified Interface - Adding Options to Multi Select Option Set

Hello,

We are trying to programatically add options to a multi select option set in Dynamics 365, using JavaScript.

The below code snippet works fine in the old web interface, but in the Unified Interface we are getting the following error:

TypeError: Xrm.OptionSetItem is not a constructor

Has anyone enountered this issue before and knows a workaround? In this scenario we are unable to remove select options in the code, due to the amount of options available.

This also begs the question, do certain JavaScript methods only work in the old web client?

function filterOptionSet(executionContext) { 
 try {

'
 var formContext = executionContext.getFormContext(); // get formContext
 var optionSetCtrl = formContext.getControl("evo_subsectors");
 var industryObj = formContext.getAttribute("evo_industrysector");
 console.log("Industry field is: " + industryObj); 
 //Clear all options
 optionSetCtrl.clearOptions();
 if (industryObj != null) { //Check if industry field is empty
 switch (industryObj.getValue()) {
 case 914060005: //If industry is this value (Emergency Services)
 console.log("Emergency services sub sectors here")
 optionSetCtrl.addOption(new Xrm.OptionSetItem(914060001,"Police"), 0) //(value-int, text-string), position-integer)
 optionSetCtrl.addOption(new Xrm.OptionSetItem(914060002,"Coast Guard"), 1) 
 optionSetCtrl.addOption(new Xrm.OptionSetItem(914060003,"Private Ambulance Services"), 2) 
 optionSetCtrl.addOption(new Xrm.OptionSetItem(914060000,"Fire Service"), 3) 
 break;
 case 914060007: //Or, if industry is this value (Education)
 optionSetCtrl.addOption(new Xrm.OptionSetItem(914060004,"Nursery"), 0)
 optionSetCtrl.addOption(new Xrm.OptionSetItem(914060005,"Schools and Colleges"), 1)
 optionSetCtrl.addOption(new Xrm.OptionSetItem(914060006,"Higher and Further Education"), 2)
 optionSetCtrl.addOption(new Xrm.OptionSetItem(914060007,"Specialist Education Establishment"), 3)
 break;
