Select Option Button via rule

J

I have a form with "Yes", "No" and "N/A" choices made with option buttons.
Based on an answer earlier on the form some of these need to be automatically
set to "N/A". I do not want to eliminate or hide them as they still need to
be shown.

I've tried setting the "value" with a "rule" but that does not work. How can
I do this?

Could you please elaborate more? Rule should work to set the value. I hope
all the options are not part of the same group.

Sorry, yes the value is set but the button does not "appear" to be selected.

What do you mean by "the same group"? The three choices are the same
control, one button's value will be set to 1 when selected the other two
buttons will be set to 2 and 3 when selected, respectfully.

The rule should work, Jono. Double-check whether there aren't any other rules
that might be canceling out the rule you want to use to set the value with;
the logic might have gotten mixed up somewhere in your form. Also make sure
that you did not put the option buttons in a repeating section.

OK, it is now working. I'm not sure why it wasn't before. I just opened the
form today and the rules that I had left in place started to work. I've
noticed that sometime when I first insert a rule it doesn't seem to "take".
Usually though closing and reopening the form fixes that. I guess it just
needed the weekend to rest!

Thanks for your response
