clearValue based on change of another field

[DebR]

Need a script to clear a field based on a change to another field. If the Software Maintenence [u_sa] field is changed from true to false, I want the Software Expiration Date [u_sa_expiration] field to be cleared. I realize this is pretty basic; I'm new to JavaScript and what I've tried hasn't worked.

What you describe can be accomplished with an onChange client script:
Name: Clear Software Expiration onChange
Type: onChange
Field name: Software Maintenence
Script:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
    if (isLoading || newValue == 'true') {
        return;
    }
    if (newValue == 'false') {
        g_form.setValue('u_sa_expiration', '');
    }
}

Let me know if you are still having difficulty, or have any questions.

I have tried your above script. I can't seem to get it to work. Any info would be helpful, as I need to do the same with Date Verified. Here's the info I am using and the script.

Name: Clear Room onChange of State

Type: onChange

Field: State

Script:

I got mine working as well. I appreciate the tip.

Hello Christopher,

I have a similar issue, the difference being that I have actual choices rather than true or false. I did a very similar script but it doesn't work.

Do you see anything wrong or have any suggestions?

Thanks!

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
     if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
           return;
     }


     //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
       if (newValue == "Vendor payment term change") {   
               g_form.setValue('early_payment_value', '');   
       }   
   else if(newValue == "Early release of payment") {   
               g_form.setValue('annual_purchase', '');   
       }   

}
