How to clear value of g:ui_reference box in UI Page when user select different option?

[bbf3562]

There are 2 dropdown options for admin to select. If the admin select option #2 and type something in reference field search box but changed mind and select option #1, the ui reference field will change but the previous ui reference field still have remaining input value that need to be cleared. If click Option #2 again, it will switch back to first reference field but the old value that admin typed is still there. I have tried use gel('test').value = ""; but it isn't working. Anyone know why?

Here are my sample code,
