Steps followed:-1. The "unselected" state is actually not really a "legal" state for radio buttons. Sébastien Rainville over 2 years ago. Hi, let's say you have a radio button group with 3 choices but you don't want a default value already selected, you want all 3 options not selected, is that possible?

If there are only two options, and you need to force a choice, use radio buttons and do not pre-select one. How can you have a radio button group with no selected default value. The default radio button selection is the first item in the tree. The value of the "unchecked" state is always "Off". But at Runtime its not defaulting to that selected value.

In case if it is false, i.e., the radio button is not selected. When I remove the default value of 1 from the database and run the application, it complains that it can NOT find a value in the list (which makes sense). In the default state, no radio button in a RadioButtons group is selected. The default behavior should be nothing is selected. However, once a user has selected a radio button, the user can't deselect the button to restore the group to its initial cleared state. Note: If no radio button is selected when the form is submitted, the radio group is not included in the submitted form data at all, since there is no value to report. Only one radio button in a group can be selected at the same time. Radio buttons actually mean that either one of the values is to be selected. You may occasionally want to determine whether the currently selected radio button in a group is selected by default. Is there a way to change this?
