Using Behaviors to Show/Hide - Need to Clear old Options

I have several Behavior scripts that are showing/hiding fields based on other field selections. This part is working great. 

 

My question is in regards to clearing options if the mainField options changes.

 

Heres My Code:

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import groovy.transform.BaseScript
@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours

def mainField = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())

def applicationOther = getFieldById("customfield_13737")
def newJiraProject = getFieldById("customfield_13701")
def jiraProjectName = getFieldById("customfield_13702")
def jiraProjectKey = getFieldById("customfield_13703")
def jiraProjectLead = getFieldById("customfield_13704")
def jiraProjectAdmin = getFieldById("customfield_13818")
def businessJustification = getFieldById("customfield_13705")
def copyConfig = getFieldById("customfield_13707")
def selectedOption = mainField.getValue() as String

if (selectedOption != "Jira" || "Other") {
  applicationOther.setHidden(true)
  newJiraProject.setHidden(true)
  jiraProjectName.setHidden(true)
  jiraProjectKey.setHidden(true)
  jiraProjectLead.setHidden(true)
  jiraProjectAdmin.setHidden(true)
  businessJustification.setHidden(true)
  copyConfig.setHidden(true)
  applicationOther.setRequired(false)
  newJiraProject.setRequired(false)
  jiraProjectName.setRequired(false)
  jiraProjectKey.setRequired(false)
  jiraProjectLead.setRequired(false)
  jiraProjectAdmin.setRequired(false)
  businessJustification.setRequired(false)
  copyConfig.setRequired(false)
} 
if (selectedOption == "Jira") {
  newJiraProject.setHidden(false)
  newJiraProject.setRequired(true)
}
if (selectedOption == "Other") {
  applicationOther.setHidden(false)
  applicationOther.setRequired(true)
}

 I would like the fields that the selectedOption = Jira / Other exposes/hides to clear values if values are set. 

I have a workaround to clear the values on Create but this is not a long term solution.

Any assistance is appreciated.

Hi @Nathan Parmeter 

The solution that's coming to mind seems so simple that I wonder if I'm mis-understanding the question/problem.

Isn't it just a matter of setting the value to null?

formfield.setFormValue(null)

 BTW,  a little trick I like to share... how do you like this version of your code?

import com.onresolve.jira.groovy.user.FieldBehaviours
import groovy.transform.BaseScript
@BaseScript FieldBehaviours fieldBehaviours

def mainField = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())
def selectedOption = mainField.value.value

def applicationOther = getFieldById("customfield_13737")
def newJiraProject = getFieldById("customfield_13701")

def detailFields = ['customfield_13702',
'customfield_13703',
'customfield_13704',
'customfield_13818',
'customfield_13705',
'customfield_13707']

if (selectedOption == "Jira") {
    newJiraProject.setHidden(false).setRequired(true)
} else if (selectedOption == "Other") {
    applicationOther.setHidden(false).setRequired(true)
} else {
    detailFields.each{fieldId ->
        getFieldById(fieldId).setHidden(true).setRequired(false).setFormValue(null)
    }
}

When you do the exact same action on many fields, just put them in a list and iterate over it.

I also happened to notice that this may not do what you expect:

if (selectedOption != "Jira" || "Other") {

It is equivalent to doing this:

if ( (selectedOption != "Jira")  ||  ("Other") ) {

Maybe you meant to have either 

if (selectedOption != "Jira" || selectedOption != "Other") {

Or

if ( !(selectedOption in ["Jira","Other"] ) ) {
