Radio Buttons & Drop Down Menus

Dear All,

Is it possible to have a mix of drop down menus and radio buttons inside a data entry form.

What I have observed is they are automatically displayed as drop down menus when number of options in option set increases.

There is an option to make all options to appear as drop down or radio boxes under programme settings, but is it possible to customize individually.

Thank you

Hi,

Not sure which module you are referring here. However, the way the setting works is - if you have an optionset with more than 7 options, the display turns to drop down. For those less than 7 it should remain radio.

Thank you,

Abyot.

Hi,

Thanx for the reply.
This is regarding a custom data entry form for a patient tracker in a single event with registration. We want to have radio buttons for certain option sets which have more than 7 options. is it possble to do this, without globally having radio buttons for all option sets.

No, that is not possible at the moment. The setting we have is per program not per dataelement/attribute.

Yes, I think it makes sense - we will discuss about it.

We thought more than 7 will kind of clutter the form, but if users want to have it then we leave the decision for them.
