How can we clear custom field value using JavaScript

[Amit Girme]

Is there any way to clear the custom field value using the javascript in its description. This should be done whenever issue is getting created & cloned?

Provided the custom field is "text field" with wiki style renderer.

I have refered https://developer.atlassian.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=4227208 but it is not helpful.

Also tried code as

<script type="text/javascript">
target = document.getElementById("customfield_1000000");
function clear()
{
target.value = "null";
}
var createbutton = document.getElementById("Create");
createbutton.onclick=clear
</script>

Clearing field on Create Issue is possible using JavaScript. but for cloning it is not because picking information from CloneIssueDetails.jspa. So performed it through database script.

I dont like to install plugins for the other way achievable or single task queries. If multiple benefits are there then it make sense to install external plugin. :-)

Hey Amit,

Yes you can do this.

Put this code in the description of very first filed of Jira Form.

For Example very first field id is = customfield_xxxxx and Terget field ID is =customfield_yyyyy

So below code will execute as user fill any value in the First field and controll move to another field.

<script>
AJS.$(document).ready(function(){

AJS.$("input[name=customfield_xxxxx]").blur(function () {
var target= document.getElementsByName("customfield_yyyyy")[0];
target.value = "";

});

});
</script>

Let me know if you have further question.

Regards,

Atul

Hi Atul,

Thanks for your response. I want to get the field clear while cloning. I achieved the clearance of field while creating issue but via different script as

<script type="text/javascript">

target = document.getElementById("customfield_YYYYY");
function clear()
{
target.value = "";
}
var createForm = document.getElementById("issue-create");
createForm.onsubmit=clear;
</script>

but this code is not working when we are cloning the issue.

var createClone = document.getElementById("assign-issue-submit")

might be because it is picking values from CloneIssueDetails.jspa page and not from the live page.

Further the script you given is not working for cloning. I put it in Summary which is the only field you can enter while cloning
