Remove Option on category not working in Onload client script

[dagarson]

Hello I am trying to remove some category options when a case is assigned to a specific group. I was able to get a script working with a ui policy for on change but I need the same to work when you load the form. So I am an onload client script but it doesnt seem to remove the category options. All the alerts are running so I know the script is hitting but the options arent being removed. Here is the script

function onLoad() {
    var targetGroup = 'b5ca7f751b70529009c7202ce54bcb78'; 
    var currentGroup = g_form.getValue('assignment_group');

    // Proceed only if the current group matches the target group
    if (currentGroup === targetGroup) {
        alert("Target group matched.");

        // Alert current category value
        var currentCategoryValue = g_form.getValue('category');
        alert("Current category value: " + currentCategoryValue);

        // Remove categories one by one
        g_form.removeOption('category', '1000');
        g_form.removeOption('category', '1001');
        g_form.removeOption('category', '120000000000000');
        g_form.removeOption('category', '12311111');
        g_form.removeOption('category', '1233333332');
        g_form.removeOption('category', '21111111');
        g_form.removeOption('category', '211111111112');
        g_form.removeOption('category', '2222221111');
        g_form.removeOption('category', '222222211111114');

        alert("Categories have been removed.");
    }
}

Any assistance would be helpful.

Hello @dagarson ,

Can you give a try with below script 

function onLoad() {
    var targetGroup = 'b5ca7f751b70529009c7202ce54bcb78'; 
    var currentGroup = g_form.getValue('assignment_group');

    // Proceed only if the current group matches the target group
    if (currentGroup === targetGroup) {
        alert("Target group matched.");

        // Function to remove categories
        removeCategories();
    }
}

function removeCategories() {
    var categoriesToRemove = [
        '1000', '1001', '120000000000000', '12311111', '1233333332',
        '21111111', '211111111112', '2222221111', '222222211111114',
        '222222221111', '22222224', '4030942586', '4222211', 
        '43222222', '455555621', '54411225', '544444444', 
        '563842034', '57391921111', '600', '601', '602', 
        '603', '604', '605', '6051', '606', '607', 
        '608', '609', '6091', '610', '611', '6111', 
        '6112', '6113', '612', '613', '614', '615', 
        '616', '617', '618', '619', '620', '621', 
        '622', '623', '624', '625', '626', '627', 
        '644443333', '69045032', '701', '702', '703', 
        '704', '705', '706', '707', '708', '73222111',

        '785555555', '78888888', '7950320324', '8655766', 
        '877776677', '9322222'
    ];

    categoriesToRemove.forEach(function(category) {
        g_form.removeOption('category', category);
    });

    alert("Categories have been removed.");
}

Thanks for reaching out. That still didnt work. All the alerts still hit but the category options arent removed.

@dagarson the second argument which you are passing in 

g_form.removeOption('category'

is it a choice value or choice label? 

[dagarson]

the value.
