Clear control (when a variable is already set)#816101

Hi,

I have a text control (rfq_segment) and I want that when I enter my form, I clear the control. Is there any way to do it programatically in javascript so it won't let me pass unless I select a value (it's a dropdown)?

Or is the best way to unset the variable in a trigger before the form?

Thanks

Mark the required property of the field, so you can't submit the form without filling the field.
Then, add the following JavaScript to the form:

Code: Select all

$("#rfq_segment").setValue('');

Where "rfq_segment" is the ID of the field.

If the field is dropdown, then you need to make the first option in the dropdown have an empty value like this, so the user is forced to manually select a value.
