Execution Flow

Real-Life Examples

Here are some practical scenarios where you might use the "Clear radiobutton choices" function:

Example 1: Resetting a "Preferred Contact Method" field

Imagine you have a user profile form where users select their "Preferred Contact Method" using radio buttons (e.g., Email, Phone, SMS). If a user changes their country, and some contact methods are not available in the new country, you might want to clear the existing choices before loading new, relevant ones.

• Inputs:
  • UI element: Preferred Contact Method (a radio button field)
• Result: All existing choices like "Email", "Phone", "SMS" are removed from the "Preferred Contact Method" radio button field, making it empty.

Example 2: Clearing options in a "Product Category" filter

Consider an e-commerce application where users can filter products by "Product Category" using radio buttons. If a user selects a specific "Department" (e.g., "Electronics"), you might want to clear the "Product Category" options before populating them with categories relevant only to "Electronics" (e.g., "Laptops", "Smartphones").

• Inputs:
  • UI element: Product Category (a radio button field)
• Result: All previously displayed product categories (e.g., "Clothing", "Books", "Home Goods") are removed from the "Product Category" radio button field.

Example 3: Preparing a "Survey Question" radio button for new input

In a survey application, after a user completes one section, you might want to prepare the next section's questions. If a radio button field for a "Yes/No" question was used in the previous section and needs to be reused for a different question in the next section, clearing its choices ensures it's ready for new options to be added.

• Inputs:
  • UI element: Question 5 Answer (a radio button field)
• Result: The "Yes" and "No" choices are removed from the "Question 5 Answer" radio button field, leaving it blank and ready for new choices.
