    Default Re: Attribute Showing As Radio Set For Dropdown

    When using the Dropdown, if you only have 1 Option Value added to the Attributes, this will automatically revert to a selected Radiobutton so that the dropdown is not there with just 1 choice when there is nothing to choose from ...

    Once you add the 2nd Option Value, this will automatically switch back to the dropdown ...

    NOTE: you need to set a default if you want a Radio button pre-selected and it is recommended that you add an extra Option Value such as:
    Pick one
    Select from below
    What do you want
    Your Choice

    and set it as Default YES and Display Only YES and with a Sort Order of 0 ...

    Note: all default Sort Orders can be updated after the attributes are added by clicking the Update Sort Order button at the top of the screen ...

    Ajeh meant to say Dropdown instead of radio buttons.

    You must not have your options set up correctly or it would be working.
    Please do not PM for support issues: a private solution doesn't benefit the community.

    Be careful with unsolicited advice via email or PM - Make sure the person you are talking to is a reliable source.

    Default Re: Attribute Showing As Radio Set For Dropdown

    I don't know what happened where. I completed deleted the attribute and started from scratch only to run into the same problem. I then went into the value screen and added each value one by one to the item that needed it and now it's working. So even though I went a totally bass-ackwards way I'm sure, I got it to work.

    Thanks for y'alls help
