RE: Set relationship dropdown via javascript controller

So how do you CLEAR a relationship field that has a value in it? I tried

this.model.set('wcont_wolframcontracts_accountsaccounts_ida', '')
this.model.set('wcont_wolframcontracts_accounts_name', '');

but that doesn't really work, it seems to leave the name in place.  If I d

this.model.set('wcont_wolframcontracts_accountsaccounts_ida', '')
this.model.set('wcont_wolframcontracts_accounts_name', ' ');

(see space in the name), that clears the name but doesn't really reset the field.

Go to the your modules' vardef extension:

custom/<module>/Ext/Vardefs/vardef.ext.php

Find the relationship in question.

There should be two fields associated with that relationship, one for type relate and one for type link.

For example, I have:

$dictionary["wcont_WolframContracts"]["fields"]["wcont_wolframcontracts_accounts"] = array (
  'name' => 'wcont_wolframcontracts_accounts',
  'type' => 'link',
  'relationship' => 'wcont_wolframcontracts_accounts',
  'source' => 'non-db',
  'module' => 'Accounts',
  'bean_name' => 'Account',
  'side' => 'right',
  'vname' => 'LBL_WCONT_WOLFRAMCONTRACTS_ACCOUNTS_FROM_WCONT_WOLFRAMCONTRACTS_TITLE',
  'id_name' => 'wcont_wolframcontracts_accountsaccounts_ida',
  'link-type' => 'one',
);
$dictionary["wcont_WolframContracts"]["fields"]["wcont_wolframcontracts_accounts_name"] = array (
  'name' => 'wcont_wolframcontracts_accounts_name',
  'type' => 'relate',
  'source' => 'non-db',
  'vname' => 'LBL_WCONT_WOLFRAMCONTRACTS_ACCOUNTS_FROM_ACCOUNTS_TITLE',
  'save' => true,
  'id_name' => 'wcont_wolframcontracts_accountsaccounts_ida',
  'link' => 'wcont_wolframcontracts_accounts',
  'table' => 'accounts',
  'module' => 'Accounts',
  'rname' => 'name',
);

Look at the relate definition and use the name and id_name values as the field names to set the id and name respectively

In my example:

this.model.set('wcont_wolframcontracts_accountsaccounts_ida', id)
this.model.set('wcont_wolframcontracts_accounts_name', name);

HTH
