I am using radio buttons to select the size variations and a menu/list to select the colour variations in my mal’s e buy now form…
But i want to use radio buttons for the colour variations aswell but everytime i do it only lets me select one option from either colour or size…
Can anyone help???
There is a link to the page with the menu/list and radio buttons to show you.
The name of the button determines which group it is in. So if you have three buttons in the color group, and three in the size group, they will behave the way you want as long as all three size buttons are named size, and all three color buttons are named color. Freeway exposes this attribute to you as the Group field, on the third tab of the Inspector.

If you are using Radios for 2 different functions ie colour and size than you have to ensure that you have them set up with separate clusters (Groups) - look under the 3rd Tab in the inspector with your Radio selected and ensure that the Radios for colour all use the same Group.
Radio buttons need to be named as a group ‘cluster’ for each group those buttons relate to, so if you have 3 radio buttons for a selection of 1, 2 and 3 then you could name that cluster as say ‘numbers’ and give each ‘numbers’ radio button a value of 1, 2 and 3.
So what happens if you need a colour selection and you want to use 4 radio buttons for 4 different colours? Simple, just give those radio buttons each a name of say ‘colours’ and the value of the colour name each button represents, now when someone selects an option from the radio buttons for numbers that option will get selected while selecting the colour yellow from the colours group of radio button options will make that radio selected without deselecting the radio you selected for the number.
BTW, personally I think I would use menus for what you are doing, only because you will probably have 4 or 5 options for each option you are giving the user which would look better than loads of radio button but that is only my view

Just double checking so for each radio button in inspector it says tab 1 title-item 6 then 3rd tab name-cluster1 value-medium
I change the name to in tab 3 to size for all the radio buttons in size?
and the same in colours?
Firstly the most recent version without going to 5.5 is 5.4.3 and there were bug fixes in there so you should update.
The interface is different and as Mike B suggested with the radio button selected look in the Inspector under the Radio Tab and make sure the Name field has the same value for each group ie colour or size
Hi Dave i’m using freeway pro 5…
Check the link again i’ve just changed the names in the 3rd tab to colour and size but now i can only choose one button?
Hi Dave
i’ve changed the name fields to both colour and size for each radio button but now it only lets you choose one button,
you can’t choose 2 like small black as soon as you click on another it clicks of the previous one ?
