Set value of radiobutton field

Function: Set value of radiobutton field

This function allows you to update the selected option within a Radio Button field on your form. It's useful for pre-filling a form, changing a selection based on other user inputs, or setting a default choice. The updated value is then available for other actions or for saving.

Input

• UI element (PART): This is the specific Radio Button field on your form that you want to modify. You'll typically select it from a list of available UI elements. This input is required.
• Answer (STRING): This is the text value of the option you want to select within the chosen Radio Button field. For example, if your radio buttons are "Yes", "No", "Maybe", you would provide "Yes" or "No" or "Maybe" here. While this input is technically optional, if provided, it must exactly match one of the available choices in the Radio Button field. If no value is provided, or if the provided value does not match an existing choice, the action will result in an error.

Output

No direct output is returned by this function. The selected value of the Radio Button field is updated internally for further processing within your application.
