Hello Aaron, Unless things have changed (and not been documented) you can't do that with radio buttons. But there's ways to make a regular button that looks like a radio button. See the post
"How do I create two fields at once with one radio button? <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!msg/tiddlywiki/XlkKA4WDbDo/cmSnu3gEAQAJ;context-place=forum/tiddlywiki>" Scroll to the end. I think Matabele's solution might do what you want. Good luck, Mark On Thursday, June 1, 2017 at 8:31:11 PM UTC-7, Aaron Haslem wrote: > > Greetings, > This is my first post to this group.
