    HI I have tried to use the calculation wizard, but am failing to get the radio button to auto select further down the form.

     

    If I select "equipment size" Radio Button as "increased"

    And

    If I select "Main Structure Type" drop down list as "Tower"

     

    I would like "structural check required" Radio Button to auto populate a selection on "GDC (Tower Manufacturer)"

    Hi @shaneksmith.

    I tried to clone your form so I can test a solution but it wont let me. So I just made a sample including only the fields of interest. 

    Hope this helps.

    Here's a live form (that you can clone) showing the output based on the conditions you specified.

    OPTIONAL 

    You can set the Structural Check Required radio button as READ ONLY (Yes) so that your users won't be able to change the selected option if the conditions you required are met.

    Thanks @paul_x, you are right the way to update the value of a field is using conditions. In the condition, you would need to enter the label that you want to change, and not number (0,1,2,3,....).

    Is there a way to select multiple radio button options within 1 condition?
