For some of the option allow just a single one being selected
NemesisXB opened this issue · comments
Don't know if this is the right place to create the issue or if it should be done for configurator. Let me know if I should close it here and open it there.
I have a couple of presets that have multiple options, but the user should not be able to select both options. I was thinking that some of the options can be group to only allow a single option to be selected in the group. Like grouped radio buttons work basically. Multiple groups should be possible, maybe even giving the group a name.
As example below. Maybe the items can be grouped without the EXCLUSIVE tag, just making it more readable. It should also be backwards compatible as the OPTIONGROUP should be optional.
The only way of solving this with the current implementation is to inform the user in the disclaimer or description to only select one item.

the checked options are applied in order.. yes you can over write one with another. there is no way to give situation to options so the user will have to use there own brians processing power and make good decision

Yes, I understand that there is currently no way of handling it. That is why I made the feature request. Going through the presets, there are a lot of presets that will benefit from a feature like described above. It is obviously not a bug and just a feature request, making it low priority but a nice to have.
Unfortunately right now getting the whole project to RC phase is the mission so it would be a 4.4 feature
Yeah this is a good suggestion. We probably can make it after the release.
100% agree, we all feel that this would be really useful
I believe this was merged? Can I close this issue?
EDIT:
On second thought. I tested it now, the groups works great. What is still outstanding is the EXCLUSIVE tag. For example on the below image, I am still able to pick both RC LINK options. I was hoping that having the exclusive tag, I can make groups that does not allow the user to pick multiple items in that group, so it works more like grouped radio buttons. And if you don't have the exclusive tag, it just groups the items (like it is doing now) for easier reading.
@limonspb , is this something that might be worked on? Should I close this issue and make a new one? Or is it fine just keeping this one open?
We hope to offer an exclusive choice method in the future. for now the last selected option, in order, will dominate any that precede it
