Execution Flow​

Real-Life Examples​

Here are a few ways you might use the "Clear radiobutton choices" action in your application:

  1. Resetting a Form Section:

    • Scenario: You have a multi-step form, and when a user goes back to a previous step, you want to clear certain selections to ensure they make fresh choices.
    • Inputs:
      • UI element (Radio button field): Product Options (a radio button field on your form)
    • Result: All previously displayed choices like "Small", "Medium", "Large" will be removed from the Product Options radio button field, making it blank.

  2. Dynamically Updating Choices Based on Another Selection:

    • Scenario: A user selects a "Category" from a dropdown, and you want the "Sub-Category" radio buttons to show only relevant options. Before adding new sub-category choices, you need to clear the old ones.
    • Inputs:
      • UI element (Radio button field): Sub-Category Selection (a radio button field)
    • Result: Any existing choices in the Sub-Category Selection radio button field (e.g., "Electronics", "Clothing") are cleared, preparing it to display new choices relevant to the selected category.

  3. Preparing for New Data Load:

    • Scenario: You have a radio button field that displays a list of available delivery slots. When a user changes their delivery date, you first want to clear the old slots before fetching and displaying the new ones.
    • Inputs:
      • UI element (Radio button field): Delivery Time Slots (a radio button field)
    • Result: All current delivery time slot choices (e.g., "9 AM - 12 PM", "1 PM - 4 PM") are removed from the Delivery Time Slots radio button field.
