Script for partially resetting form

Question

Hello,im quite new to scripting in acrobat but i have to solve a problem that is above my knowledge right now.I created a form which contains dropdown-lists and date-fields. By clicking on a button the date fields should be empty. The dropdown-lists should show a single space-sign which is an element in their element-lists. So i need a script that searches the element-lists of all the dropdown-lists for the space-sign and selecting it to be shown. I started browsing for examples but couldn´t find anything to solve my problem.Can anyone help me please?

I already found this solution but resetting the entire form does also effect the textfields i didn´t mention earlier. I asked specifically for a solution that resets the form partially because this.resetForm() does not work for me.

By browsing a little further i found a solution for the date-fields. To reset them i have to use the command this.getField("fieldname").value = "";

I assumed that this command works the same for the dropdown-lists with ... .value = " "; since the value i want to be shown is the space-sign. I testet it but the command seems not to work for dropdown-lists.

So all i need is the wright command to set the element of the element list.

To reset just some fields you can use this code:

this.resetForm(["Text1", "Text2", "Dropdown1", "Checkbox5"]);

If space character is the default value, you can use the built-in action 'reset form' in a button.
