I have three yes/no boxes on my form (Nintex and Sharepoint 2013)  that once unchecked it clears the fields in that section so that it does not populate the list columns with that data.  I have used the following jQuery for the first yes/no in the Custom Javascript area of form:

NWF$(document).ready(function () {
  var optELA= NWF$("#" + chkELA);  

optELA.change(function(){   

if (NWF$('#'+chkELA).attr('checked')==false){
      NWF$('#'+datLeaveStart).val('');
      NWF$('#'+datLeaveEnd).val('');
      NWF$('#'+radAbsenceType).val('');
      NWF$('#'+txtAbsenceComments).val('');
   }
 });
});

It is not working. 

The sections look as follows if it helps put into perspective:

    NWF$(document).ready(function () {
    //jsvoptELA - is the javascript variable for optELA
    NWF$('#'+ jsvoptELA).change(function() {OnELAChnage();});
    });

    function OnELAChnage() {
    if(!NWF$('#' + jsvoptELA).prop('checked')){
    NWF$('#'+datLeaveStart).val('');
    NWF$('#'+datLeaveEnd).val('');
    NWF$('#'+radAbsenceType).val('');
    NWF$('#'+txtAbsenceComments).val('');
    }
    });
    }

    I am a step closer the code below clears the date (start with dat) fields but does not clear the choice/radio buttons(start with rad) nor the text fields(start with txt):

    NWF$('#'+chkELA).change( function(){$('#'+datLastShift).val('');
    $('#'+datRTW).val('');
    $('#'+datTermination).val('');
    $('#'+radTermType).prop('checked', false);
    $('#'+txtTermComments).val('');
    }});

    The code you most recently posted is incorrectly closed. 

    NWF$('#' + chkELA).change(function() {
  $('#' + datLastShift).val('');
  $('#' + datRTW).val('');
  $('#' + datTermination).val('');
  $('#' + radTermType).prop('checked', false);
  $('#' + txtTermComments).val('');
});

     

    Your code had an extra Curly Bracket at the end.

    Thank you for noticing that!  I removed the extra curly bracket and it did not make a difference
