Is there a way to deselect a radio button?

Is there a way to deselect a radio button? I had to go in and add a choice of NA in all my radio button options, because if you accidentally select a value - i found no way to deselect it - meaning i want NO selection at all. Is there a work around for this?

Create another Button option called “No Selection” and only allow them to pick one Radio Button. I don’t know how to clear buttons if the attribute allows multiple settings. Sorry! Eric

I had two radio buttons. Neither should have been selected in this particular case. One was accidentally selected. There was no way to clear it. It does not allow multiple selections. Do you know of a way to clear buttons if the attribute does NOT allow for multiple settings?

You can clear it by in line edit in a view On Tue, Mar 21, 2017, 4:02 PM Benetta Perry < globalforum@communitylists.workfront.com> wrote: > I had two radio buttons.

Melinda - I don’t know what “Clear it by in line edit in a view”. How does a user do that? Eric

Once selected it does not deselect. I am in edit mode and I click on the selected radio button and it says selected.

when in-line, you'll see a drop-down and you can just click on "Select" and it de-selects the option.

0690z000007ZjpkAAC.jpgI have my custom form in edit mode - screen shot attached - i do not see any way to deselect that "full" option - thus I created the "NA" button.

Thanks for your patience in helping me understand this.

Yes, the N/A is a good way to resolve this issue. Melinda was just saying that if you show it in a View (or report), that you can "deselect" it IN-LINE on the view (as I show in the screenshot in my previous post.
