AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):
To set a field whose type is list to empty using SuiteScript, you can set the value to an empty string
''
. Here is an example:
Copy code
javascript
record.setValue({
    fieldId: 'your_field_id',
    value: ''
});
This will effectively clear the field. However, please note that NetSuite's behavior can sometimes be inconsistent when it comes to clearing fields with different types. For some field types, you might need to set the value to
null
or
false
instead. Here is a list of clear methods for different field types that you might find useful:
Copy code
javascript
const oClearMethods = {
    currency: '',
    select: '',
    date: null,
    datetime: null,
    checkbox: false,
    text: null,
    datetimetz: null
};
You can use this list within a function to dynamically clear fields based on their type. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******
