[Deprecated] - clearChoice( )

Use this helper function to clear values in multiple choice type questions.

Note:

As this function is deprecated, we recommend you use clearValue( ) instead, which is used for the same purpose and also supports text and number questions. However, rules that call clearChoice() still work to clear values in multiple choice questions.

To properly clear a rule target, this function needs to be used as the rule's return statement. See examples below.
