Hi Mark, Thought three will work for you.
Create four separate radio buttons that will help you in enabling and hiding options as per user profile and create one hidden radio button field that will have all four options. Then write an active link on desired action like submit 0r modify that will push the user desired value to your hidden box. The above option is good to use if you are using a form as an user interface and keeping values into a seprate table but in case you are implementing the same on a regular form then you may try to push the vale in a character field since it may further be required for reporting purpose. Also, You can use the search menu where values can be changed dynamically using active links.

Mark, Based upon what you are describing, I think you might be able to get away with using 4 individual Check Box fields. You can show and hide them based upon whatever criteria you desire and the look and feel is similar to that of the Radio Button so you should have no trouble with the customer. You would just need to ensure they select only the correct number of boxes by using workflow. Hope this helps.

Hello All, Customer wants a dynamic radio button list. I am not sure this is possible, but hope someone may know how to make it so. Thought 1: Manipulate a Selection Type Field (radio button) at runtime to show/hide attribute values dynamically. For example, I have a selection field with 4 values: A, B, C, D When the user logs on, I want to check their group memberships, or permissions, and based on this, show/hide certain values within the list. Problem is, I don't know how to dynamically manipulate a selection type field. Thought 2: Do with a drop down menu, but cannot figure out how to make it a radio button type selection. Thought 3: Build single value radio buttons, loop through them with code to hide/show accordingly, then build workflow to manage user selections. This I can do, but seems like a ton of code, and cumbersome to maintain. Probably not worth the effort, if I could convince the customer of that. If anyone has any ideas, I would appreciate it.
