Add & edit radio button form fields

Radio buttons can be assigned the same attributes as check box fields. You use radio buttons more often for either/or responses. When you create check boxes you can uncheck a checkbox by clicking on it. The only way to uncheck a radio button is to clear a form or check another button that turns off companion radio button checkmarks.

Tip: You can edit general- and appearance-related attributes via the Properties context tab or the Properties dialog, depending on your preferences. (See more about forms preferences.)
