You return null in a calculated value.

dojo.provide("com.example.eraseTarget");
(function() {
    dojo.declare("com.example.eraseTarget", null, {
    getValue: function(attribute, workItem, configuration) {

        var target = workItem.getValue("target");   
        var prio = workItem.getLabel("internalPriority");
        if(prio!=null && prio=="High"){
            return null;
        }
        return target;
    }
});


})();

See https://rsjazz.wordpress.com/2016/07/15/rtc-process-customization-what-you-can-and-cannot-do/

Attribute customization only allows to return values to a specific attribute. It is not possible (from the described API) to change another attribute.

The approach above is a calculated value that checks if the event to erase attribute "target" happens and then returns null. It returns the current value otherwise.

Note that attribute customization is for all attribute types that have the attribute - or you need to check the type, etc.

It's all about the answers!
