Choose one
The Choose One field shows several radio or option buttons that allow the form user to choose only one option. By changing the setting in Advanced Options, you can show the radio buttons horizontally instead of vertically.
If you have many options, you may want to consider using the Dropdown List field instead. If you want form users to be able to select multiple options instead of only one, you should use the Choose Multiple field instead.

In the Form Fields panel (left-hand side), drag the Choose One field onto your form.

Show advanced options
Click the Show Advanced Options button to reveal additional controls and functionality, as the following table explains.
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
Question (Label) |
Show a different field label (instead of the field name) on the form. When a Question (Label) is specified, it will override the Question (Name) on your form. Using this feature you can: * Show multiple fields with the same question or label. * Use internal field names for reporting purposes, but show user-friendly field labels on the form. |
Hide the question (only show the answer box) |
Only show the input field (without the question/name). |
Default answer |
Prefill the field with a default answer. Field short-codes can also be used to prefill dynamic values directly from responses in other fields within the form. |
Further instructions |
Add some informative text just below the field. |
Assign numeric values for your options |
Assign values to options to automate calculations within a form. Read the Calculation section for more information. |
Read-only - do not allow entry into this field |
Lock a field to prevent form users from modifying a pre-defined field value. For example, you may have a default answer such as 'today’s date' or 'customer ID' that is pre-filled on the form and you do not want form users to change it. |
Hidden - do not show this field on the online form |
Hide a field to prevent form users from modifying a pre-defined field value. For example, you may have a default answer such as 'today’s date' or 'customer ID' that is pre-filled on the form and you do not want form users to see it. |
Show choices:- Vertically, below each other / Horizontally, next to each other |
The default setting displays choices/options stacked vertically (suitable for larger lists). You can change this to display the choices/options side by side (suitable for a short list). |
Show/hide this field with conditional logic |
Hide this field until certain conditions/responses in other fields are met. For more information, read the Conditional logic section. |
