What are radio buttons in FileMaker?
Radio buttons are understood to be FileMaker-databases, which displays a field as an option field so that individual predefined values can be selected with a mouse click. The default values can be taken from any value list. In contrast to checkboxes, radio buttons can only be used to select one value from the selection.
To add radio buttons to a field, switch to layout mode in FileMaker and click on the desired field. In the inspector (View > Inspector), you can now add radio buttons in the [Field] of the register [Data] to define all display settings for the selected field:
Show data from: (Field to be displayed)
Control style (Form in which the field is to be displayed. By default, a field is displayed as an edit field. Other possible options: Drop-down list, drop-down menu, checkboxes, radio buttons, drop-down calendar)
Allow other values to be entered
This function is used to add an additional entry to the value list [Other...] is added. After selecting this entry, a dialog for entering individual values appears.
Attention: Individually entered values are not displayed as an option field if they are not available in the value list for displaying the option fields.
