How can I set Choice control value when in Option button display format

[nps9]

I am able to get the value of the selected option of a choice control using:

function getCh1Val() { alert(NWF$('#'+cidCh1 + ' input:checked').val()); }

But I can't seem to set the value of the choice control when it is in option button display format. If I change it to drop down list format I can get and set the value with no problem.

try following

NWF$('#' + cidCh1).find('input:radio[value="Yes"]').attr("checked","true");‍

‌  ‌ set choice value‌ set radio value‌ set choice option value ‌

Thank you for your response Marian, I really appreciate it!

When I tried it at first it didn't work. So I went back and set Render as buttons to No and it worked perfect.If I have to I can change them but I really don't want to. I have four forms with about 350 choice controls all being rendered as buttons. We picked them because the forms are being filled out on a tablet with a finger and they are the easiest for them to select. Do you know what it would be if they are rendered as buttons?

I'd recommend you test it on your own, it may differ on each mobile platform.

OK, I did a clean test and removed the tablet from the picture completely.

I created a new list with a choice column and opened form designer. I added a button and put the one line of code you provided above. I opened the form and sure enough clicking the button set the proper button on the choice control exactly as you said. However, when I change render as buttons to yes and open the form again - it does not set the button. This test was does on-prem, on a desktop PC in an SP2013 environment using Nintex Forms version 2.10.

That did it. Thank you very much Marian. I really appreciate your assistance.

Hi All

I am new to Nintex. Please would you mind letting me know where this piece of code should be added or how it should be added and the variables which i need to change to my own controls?

Thank you
