How to clear all options from a list/record field in sutiescript 2.1

AI generated answer (using internal Slack threads):

To clear all options from a list/record field in SuiteScript 2.1, you can use the

removeSelectOption

method. However, this method only works for fields that are not sourced. If the field is sourced, you cannot remove select options from it. Here is an example of how you can use the

removeSelectOption

method:

javascript
function pageInit(scriptContext) {
    var myRecord = scriptContext.currentRecord;
    var newField = myRecord.getField({fieldId: 'custpage_contactfield'}); // field added through a UE BL script

    newField.removeSelectOption({value: null});
}

In this example, the

removeSelectOption

method is used to remove the select option with a null value from the 'custpage_contactfield' field. If you want to clear all options from a sourced field, you may need to hide/disable the standard field and add your own scripted field that you can add or remove options from. ****** Disclaimer: This response was generated by an artificial intelligence assistant based on previous conversations from multiple Slack channels, and may contain inaccuracies or mistakes. ******

Doesn't work: removeSelectOption is not a function
