Multi-Select Option Set - clearOptions() NOT clearing selected options

(0) Share

Report

Posted on by Community Member

I have JavaScript onChange of a field that needs to trigger another field, a multi-select option set, to clear any/all selected options.

I cannot get it to work using: formContext.getControl("multiselectfieldname").clearOptions();

Anyone else experiencing this issue?

Any suggestions / help would help!!

Hi,

you need to use setValue(null) to remove the selected options. Refer below article for more informations.

Hi,

Check this:

howtomscrm.com/.../dynamics-365-v9-0-set-multi-select-option-set-values-using-jscript.html

Set value null instead of using method clear().

formContext.getAttribute("new_multiselect").setValue(null);

Hope it helps.

Hi,

You can set the attribute value to null to clear the muti-select options.

Please try the code below.

Xrm.Page.getAttribute("multiselectfieldname").setValue(null);

Hope this helps.

Works in version 9.1

//set the mutli select option set to blank.

Hi,

clearOptions() is a method to clear the options of the OptionSet field on the form, by that you can re-build your options on the form dynamically.

However, the values selected by users are different. If you need to clear the selected values, all of them, then set the field to Null.

Regards,

Yes. Agreed. To clear the selected values setting it to null is the right way.
