Radio buttons allow your document’s recipients to select only one predefined option from the list you provide.

Note: The minimum number of options for radio buttons is 2; the maximum is 50.

To add a radio button field, select the field on the content panel, then drag and drop it to where you’d like to place it in your document. Two options will be added to the radio button field by default.

Note: Radio buttons adhere to content block borders and other radio button fields. If you move a parent content block, the radio button group will also move, preserving the relative position of the individual radio buttons.

You can easily add more options to the radio button field by selecting +. Alternatively, you can select the gear icon (Options), then +Add option in the field options panel that opens.

In the field options panel you can:

  • Select whether you want to show or hide option values

  • Make field 'required' or 'not required'

  • Select radio button color

  • Select text color

  • Add, remove and rename radio button options

  • Map your CRM value to PandaDoc field

  • Copy, cut, duplicate or delete the field

To edit an option title, select the gear icon (Options), then make your changes.

By default, the “Show Values” toggle is switched on. You can switch off this toggle if you’re working with an uploaded document that already includes a list of options.

Note: The value added to “Field ID” can be used to easily find and work with any data your recipients add by using the downloaded CSV file of a form. You can use “Merge field” to add values to the radio buttons field when you create documents via API.

To reorder radio buttons, simply drag and drop an option to another location.

Value formatting

Font and text styles for radio buttons are pulled from your design theme. You can easily change the formatting of a specific radio buttons field by first selecting the field, then clicking on the gear icon (Options). Here you can change:

  • Font color

  • Button color

Note: Design settings applied in the field properties will override general design settings.

You can change the size of radio buttons by dragging the small circle at the bottom right of an icon. All icons in the radio buttons group will resize accordingly.
