I have an OptionSet whose default value is "Unassigned", which shows as blank to a user browsing the form.

On certain conditions, I have to clear the option set and set its value back to "Unassigned".

Here's the code that I have:

Xrm.Page.Data.Entity.Attributes.Get("fieldName").setValue(null);

That indeed does change the value to "Unassigned" and shows the option set with a blank, but it doesn't seem like this is what gets mitted to the database.

If I run an Advanced Find, I still see the old value that was there prior to running the code above on it.

Anything I'm missing ?

Thanks.

Try,

Xrm.Page.getAttribute([fieldname]).setSubmitMode("always");

Sometimes when values are changed by script (especially when they are read only) CRM doesn't pick up the change.

Instead of google I would remend starting with this link (which I can't take credit for!):

There is a link to a skydrive document which has a prehensive cheat sheet for all the Xrm Namespace functions. Worth its weight in gold!
