In SuiteScript I have a float type field in Suitelet. In client script, I wanted to clear that field value so I setValue as null. But the form shows as 'null'
```            form.setValue({
                fieldId: 'custpage_amount', 
                value: null, 
                ignoreFieldChange: true
            });  ```
How can I clear that field?

NetSuite is not very consistent when it comes to clear fields with different field types, sometimes you need to set values to:
• null
• ''
• boolean


This is a list I put together a while ago and I use within a function to dynamically clear fields:
```const oClearMethods = {
    currency: '',
    select: '',
    date: null,
    datetime: null,
    checkbox: false,
    text: null,
    datetimetz: null
};```


For decimal and integer '' works if I remember right, when done through ui/client.

It's supposed to be `null` - for serverside scripts. for the `custpage_xxx` you're using the values are strings, so empty string should work.

but I concur with <@U7A0KGURX> that NS is not consistent - even with their own documentation on this topic.
