Clear linked issues using Behaviours using setFormValue()

Question

I'm trying to clear a form value from the linked-issues field using behaviours.

I've tried the following three ways and none seems successful:

def rt = getFieldById(getFieldChanged())
def links = getFieldById("issuelinks")
def linkType = getFieldById("issuelinks-linktype")
def linkIssues = getFieldById("issuelinks-issues")

def rtValue = rt.getValue()?.toString()

switch(rtValue) {
case "Duplicate": 
links.setHidden(false)
linkType.setFormValue("duplicates").setReadOnly(true)
linkIssues.setRequired(true)
break

default :
links.setHidden(true)
linkType.setFormValue(-1).setReadOnly(false)

//None of these seem to work correctly//
linkIssues.setRequired(false).setFormValue("") <--- FIRST WAY
linkIssues.setRequired(false).setFormValue(null) <- SECOND WAY
linkIssues.setRequired(false).setFormValue(-1) <--- THIRD WAY
break
}

Any assistance would be appreciated!

Regards,

from scriptrunner support: This is a bug: SRJIRA-5851 linkIssueField.setDescription("") Instead of setFormValue("") and all the other options I've tried, we're using JavaScript to remove the linkIssueField value.

Need a help, is there a way to restrict the search also for this issue link field, lets say i want the issue to come up for one project only which must be available for users to link?

It's half of the composite system field "issueLinks".

It can be broken down into editing either of the two sub-fields:

issueLinks-linktype:

issueLinks-issues: (This is the field I'm trying to clear)

Here is a link to the documentation explaining this.

Thank you for your help,
