Turn On "Select in Unison" for all Radio Buttons in a PDF

Hi,

 

I have a large PDF form that has 400+ Radio Buttons. Many of these Radio Buttons are repeated and I want them to copy the prior selection. I know the property to turn on is "Buttons with the same name and choice are selected in unison". However, is there a way we can loop through the fields and turn this property on for all radio buttons in the PDF instead of going one-by-one or group-by-group?

 

Maybe something like how we change the mark type of a radio button:

this.getField().style = "styl.ch"

 

Any guidance would be appreciated, thank you!

For anyone else looking to do the same,

 

use this code:

 

for (var i = 0; i < this.numFields; i++) {
var Fld = this.getField(this.getNthFieldName(i));
if (Fld==null) continue;
if (Fld.type == "radiobutton") Fld.radiosInUnison = true;
}

It should be done like this:

this.getField("FieldName").style = style.ch;

    Thank you for your response. This code was just an example.

     

    However, I am looking for a way to use JavaScript to turn on the "Buttons with the same name and choice are selected in unison" for all radio buttons in the document.
