How to clear all values on a CI form?

[gunishi]

Hi all, 

Is there a way to clear all values on a CI form?

I could put them all in an array and loop through them, but as I have a lot of variables, I was wondering if there is a more efficient way to do this or if the array is the best way to go?

Any help would be much appreciated. 

Kind regards, 

G

Hello @gunishi 

var fields = g_form.getEditableFields();
for (var x = 0; x < fields.length; x++) {
    g_form.setValue(fields[x], "");
}

Plz mark my solution as Accept, If you find it helpful.

I tried this coding and it worked, but i want to refresh a catalog item if lets say the request type changes.  So i did an onchange script so that when the field request type is changed i excute the code:  

var fields = g_form.getEditableFields();  
for (var x = 0; x < fields.length; x++) {
    g_form.setValue(fields[x], "");
}


but what is happening is yes all the values on the catalog item is cleared and if I go back to the request type field to start to fill out the catalog item again it just keeps resetting the catalog item.  Basically I want to be completing a catalog item and lets say i was 3/4 completed and then decide to change the type and enter a different value in the request type and a whole new set of fields are presented.  I start to answer those questions and then decide to go back to the value in the request field that I had to begin with and when I do all the values still remain.  Is there a way that I can clear out or 'reset' the whole catalog item?
