Have 18 separate radio buttons, which are mutually exclusive.
I need to make a select all radio button which selects all of the 18 independent radio buttons.

Any thoughts and help is appreciated.

So you want the buttons to be both mutually exclusive and be able to select all of them? This will not work with the given radio button functionality, by definition only one button in a radiobutton group can be selected at a time. So to do this the buttons will have to be separte controls and scripts will need to be used to control the behavior.

Please explain more about what it is that you are doing?

Hello Thom,
Thanks for the reply.
Have 18 Radio buttons for 18 different types of nfrastructure.
Solution for the select all is east. I just created button called
select all, which will work even it it doesn't physically select all the 18 radio buttons.

Now trying to insert the script so one can un-check a radio button if it's checked incorrectly, I read the tutorial, unfortunately I don't work with LiveCycle frequently enough to understand scripts. is there a visual tutorial on where and how to enter script?
Thanks Much
dana

Thanks will check it out. Also I just found a very simple solution to my specific issue, that is to use check marks that are circles and I type the needed value in to replace 1 in object properties.

Thanks again.
Very Best Wishes
