Allow users to unselect the option in the input table

Thanks ❤️

how To allow users to unselect

Hi Hussam,

Currently, once a selection is made in a radio button, there's no way to unselect or clear this anymore. But, to prevent this, instead of using it, you can use a Checkbox. This will allow users to select and unselect the option freely. Let me show you how:

1. In Form Builder, go to Configurable List widget and click on Gear icon.
2. Go to Fields tab, and click on Checkbox in the Input Type.

Note that this will also allow the users to select more than one option on each row. If this doesn't work, you can opt to use the Radio button provided its limitations. Here's what it'll look like:

Give it a try and let us know how it goes.

The checkbox doesn't work with my score field — no result is returned. However, it works correctly when I change it to a radio button

Hi Hussam,

Note that when you use the Checkbox option, you will need to re-do your calculation by adding all the fields in the Form Calculation widget for it to work. Check out the screencast below:

Without this, your calculation will not show the correct result, so make sure to check on them before testing your form.

As to your other question, it seems that you also asked this question on another thread. You can check out our reply to that here.

How can I prevent multiple selections in a single row while still allowing the user to deselect?

Hi Hussam,

Thanks for getting back to us. I understand that you're using the checkbox option on the input table. You can deselect the checkboxes on the input table, but there's currently no option to prevent multiple selection of the checkboxes on the input table.

For that, you can use the multiple choice field, where you can prevent multiple selection, while also allowing deselection. Let's walk through the steps to set that up:

1. On your Form Builder, click Add Elements on the left side.
2. Click the Basic tab and drag and drop the multiple choice field into the form.
   
   
3. Click the gear icon on the field and click the Surveying tab.
4. Enable the Entry limits feature and enter 1 in the maximum section.
   
   

Give it a try and let us know if you've got any further questions.
