Issue/Introduction

Dependent lookup field value is not cleared when the value of main field is changed to '--None--' in New UI.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Navigate to New UI
2. Configure Project Type and Project Category columns on Project Grid view
3. Select a value for Project Type (eg. Major Project)
4. Select appropriate dependent value for Project Category (eg. New Development)
5. Change the value of Project Type to '--None--'

Expected Results: The value of field 'Project Category' should be cleared out as it is dependent on field 'Project Type'. 

Actual Results: The value of 'Project Category' field is not cleared out. 

Environment

Release : 15.9.3, 16.0+

Component : Clarity MUX UI Usability 

Cause

DE65083, DE64184 

Resolution

Fixed in Release 15.9.3 through another reported issue DE55737.

The ability to clear the field is enabled through a database toggle. 

• • By default this change is behind a toggle.
  • By default the clearing of dependent lookups won't happen.
  • For SaaS Customers, if you want this enabled, please contact Support.  
  • For On Premise Customers, you can enable the toggle using the following steps:
    1. Run the following SQL Update statement 
       update cmn_option_values set value = '1' where option_id = (select id from cmn_options where option_code = 'RESET_DEP_LOOKUP_VALUES')
    2. Refresh the application caches
  • If the dependent lookup field is configured as a 'Required' field, clearing the value is not possible and the value will remain in the database.
