Clear Record Reference Field if other fields change?

Want to see if there is a viable solution for this:

 

Essentially I have an onboarding access form where the user (if pre-existing) can enter their name. This pulls then auto-populates multiple other fields for the form (names, email, phone etc)

 

These fields can be modified but what I would like is for the record reference field to clear out if anyone modifies any of the auto-populated fields.

 

Example: Someone enters John Smith in the record reference field and pulls all of John's data. John then makes manual corrections to the form data - in this scenario I would want the record reference field to reset, ensuring other fields also clear out. 

 

Is this easily achievable?

Hi @MBarrott , 

Yes, did you try with onChange client script.

Please share the screen shot of form and refere which field is changing and which one need to clear out.

Hi @AshishKM

 

An onChange script was my first thought but given that there would be so many fields that could be changed, it felt like it would be cumbersome having so many doing a nearly identical check.  

 

See example below - so if First Name, Last Name, Department or Location change, then the Employee Name would clear. Was hoping there'd be a way without 4 unique onChange scripts.

Thanks for sharing.

I can see that, both First Name and Last Name fields are not reference type , how the Employee Name is getting the data .. have you written some code.

 

and how the department & location change related with Employee Name.

Yes, there are 4 possibility of changes, then need 4 onChange script.
