How to remove select option using Javascript

Question

We have a select field and the available options are depending: in edit view I use all, in create view they must be filtered.

I tried different ways but nothing works. For example to filter the list before rendering. I have no idea to access the list.

({ extendsFrom: 'CreateActionsView',

initialize: function (options) {

this._super('initialize', [options]);

this._filterRtQueue();

},

_filterRtQueue : function() {

//TODO remove some entries from select list

//console.info(this.app.metadata.getStrings('rt_queue_list'));

}

});

Or after rendering. I can't manipulate the HTML this way, the result is undefined:

({ extendsFrom: 'CreateActionsView',

initialize: function (options) {

this._super('initialize', [options]);

//this._filterRtQueue();

},

_filterRtQueue : function() {

console.log(this.$('.select2-result'));

},

_render : function() {

this._super("_render");

this._filterRtQueue();

}

});

Any idea?

Hi Harald Kampen If you want to remove options from dropdown let say wanted to remove value that had a text name with "ramana" in it. Try this code: ({
 extendsFrom: 'CreateActionsView',
 initialize: function (options) {
 console.log('initalized CreateActionView');
 this._super('initialize', [options]);
 this.hideDropdownValues();
 },
 hideDropdownValues: function(){
 // hide dropdown items from country classification dropdown
 var territory_list = app.lang.getAppListStrings('country_classification_list');
 Object.keys(territory_list).forEach(function(key) {
 var check = territory_list[key].match(/ramana/);
 if(territory_list[key].match(/ramana/)){
 delete territory_list[key];
 }
 });
 this.model.fields['country_classification'].options = territory_list;
 },
 _dispose: function() {
 this._super('_dispose');
 }
})
