Re: having multiple checkboxes but allowing only a single selection

Create on each checkbox a rule that on its checking all other checkbox fields set to blank
(the number oа actions is the amount of checkboxes less 1)

For example for checkbox Ch1, having 2 more checkboxes Ch2 and Ch33

"Add Rule" (pressing such button on ribbon) --> "Is Checked" ---> "Set field's value":

Action: Set a field's value
Field: Ch2
Value: "not set" aka blank aka nothing aka "not filled"

Again, as above, in "Rules" pane ("Manage Rules" on tibbon) on the right of the "Run these actions:"
press button "Add"--> "Set a fields value"

Action: Set a field's value
Field: Ch2
Value: "not set" aka blank aka nothing aka "not filled"

Repeat the same for the rest of checkboxes with corresponding adjustments of clearing other (but not itself) checkboxes

Hi all, As stated in the title i have created a form with multiple checkboxes, but want to allow users to only select one of them. I know using radio buttons would be recommended for this feature, however i am forced to use checkboxes (please don't ask me why). Can anyone tell me i'f this is even possible and if so, in what direction i should search.
