I figured out how to create a reset button in Javascript and it is resetting the fields in the form that are field type drop-down, text and date. But it is not working on resetting the fields that are multi-select and checkbox group. I’m doing it inside Confluence within ConfiForms.

I basically just need a Javascript solution that works for resetting or clearing fields for multi-select or checkbox group.

function my CustomScript(formId) {

AJS.$('#' + fomdId).find('.save-cf-btn').after('<button type="button"` class="aui-button cf_reset_btn" style="margin=right: 10px;">Reset</button>');
AJS.$('#' + formID).find('.cf_reset_btn').click(function() {
AJS.$('#' + formID).find('#i_totr').val('');
AJS.$('#' + formID).find('#i_title').val('');
});
}

What I have tried:

I tried the below but that didnt work.

function cfSetValue(formId, 'my multiselect field', '',
true);

});

Just out of curiosity, why aren't you using <button type="reset"> ?

That's just the way I’ve been creating buttons with JavaScript.

I'd recommend using the <button type="reset"> button to clear forms down. It requires no Javascript and is handled by the browser.

If you're set on using Javascript then you need to use the appropriate prop() method to change the states of the input elements:

JavaScript

// For checkboxes
$('#checkbox').prop('checked', false);

// For select options
$('#select option').prop('selected', false);
