g_form.clearValue() does not work in the catalog client script

[Kalyani35]

HI experts,

Using a onchange client script(onchange of variable month_of_overtime) I want to clear the selected value in the selectbox type of a variable in a variable set based on the response received from the Glide Ajax call. Everything works fine as expected but, as soon as I add the statement to clear the selectbox variable it throws an error on the form.

Please look at the screens shot below.

Screenshot of error:

If I remove the clearValue statement the error message does not appear.  What could be the reason for this?

Note: the Script include is returning correct value so nothing is wrong there.

Thanks

To debug the issue you can use below approach.

If you are using chrome then use ctrl+shift+i to open developer console. check error

please share that screenshot where you found error.

Onchange cs:

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading) {
    if (isLoading || newValue == '') {
        return;
    }
    var otmonth = g_form.getValue('month_of_overtime');

    var ajaxRoles = new GlideAjax('sn_hr_core.XXXXXXXXXXXXXX');
    ajaxRoles.addParam('sysparm_name', 'isCorrectOvertimeMonth');
    ajaxRoles.addParam('sysparm_app_otmonth', otmonth);

    ajaxRoles.getXML(getRolesInfo);

    function getRolesInfo(response) {
        var answer = response.responseXML.documentElement.getAttribute("answer");
        if (answer == '0') {
            
            
            g_form.clearValue('month_of_overtime');
            g_form.showFieldMsg("month_of_overtime", "You are allowed to select only past 2 months.", "error");
            
        }
    }

}

Script include function:

isCorrectOvertimeMonth: function() {

        var otmonth = this.getParameter('sysparm_app_otmonth');
        var currentTime = new GlideDateTime();

        var currentMonth = currentTime.getMonthUTC();
        if (currentMonth > otmonth) {
            var monthDiff = currentMonth - otmonth;

            if (monthDiff > 2) {
                return false;
            } else {
                return true;
            }
        } else {
            return true;
        }

    },

Use this alternatif

g_form.setValue("variable_name", []);

Please check and let me know if still facing the issue.
