[anubhavkapoor76]

Hi All,

Do we have the option of Radio buttons in Service Now forms on Platform UI?

Hi @Indrajit,

I am not able activate radio button field type on the native form, It is throwing error "Security prevents writing to this field"

Please advise

Thanks,

OOTB its not available, it has been hidden , instead of going with radio type button use true/false type field. 

still you wanna try/play, you can have look on below link on your instance and enable it . 

https://<Yourinstance>.service-now.com/nav_to.do?uri=%2Fsys_glide_object_list.do%3Fsysparm_query%3DnameLIKEradio%26sysparm_first_row%3D1%26sysparm_view%3D%26sysparm_choice_query_raw%3D%26sysparm_list_header_search%3Dtrue

script to enable it

var gr = new GlideRecord('sys_glide_object');
gr.get('0cc267c1bf3320001875647fcf0739f4');
gr.visible=true;
gr.setWorkflow(false);
gr.update();

Note: it's not good practice.

Yep i realized the same way, however just looking for reasons as why its not a good one.

May be because of too many entries and its becomes clustered. From UX point of view.

reason has not been updated on any doc , but yes if you will try and add over the form then you will observe its not actually look so nice and clear over the form. TBH not sure the exact answer why it has not been enabled .
