Radio buttons with potential check box options

tcouey
7 - Meteor

Hi, we currently have a workflow that users select a choice of 7 different macros to run by radio buttons. We want to give users the ability to run some of these macros simultaneously. 

 

I have changed all of the 7 radio buttons to check boxes. I have then tried to add the 3 and 4 respective macros into a container, and then a radio button to enable or disable each container. In the end, users should only be able to select 1 radio button as the other would disable.

 

Currently, when I test, both radio button are always staying enabled which I do not want.

 

Thank you for any help

If you want to ensure that users can only select one set of macros at a time (enabling one set disables the others), using radio buttons for containers might not be the most intuitive approach. Radio buttons are usually used when you want users to select a single option from a set of mutually exclusive options.

Instead, consider using something like tabs, buttons, or a dropdown menu to let users choose a macro set. When they select a set, the corresponding container with checkboxes gets enabled, and the others get disabled. This provides a clear visual representation of the user's choice.
