Clearing Radio Buttons in a Row - Is there a quicker way of doing this?

Question

I'm producing a document which has over 50 questions with multiple radio button answers set up in a table - Image attached.

A button in the 'Your View' column and a button 'Our View' column can be active at the same time (so the green button in 'Your View' and a Green button in 'Our View' can both be active. However, when the 'N/A' Button at the end of the row is selected, it clears the buttons in that whole row. I do this in Acrobat by going into the settings of the 'N/A' radio button, and via 'Actions > On Focus> Reset Form > edit - and I select what other radio buttons I want switching off.

However, as there are soooo many questions and radio buttons in my document, I didn't know if there was a quicker way to do this? (maybe something I can set up in Indesign?) Rather than manually going into Acrobat after every PDF Save and editing each N/A button in every question row? (This is a document that might go through multiple version changes)

also sorry, not sure if this is an Indesign or Acrobat question!

I'll stand to be corrected, but I do not think there's a way to add a reset form action in InDesign. You'll need to do it in Acrobat. But, you seem to be unaware that you can use the replace pages command in Acrobat to update the document without having to redo all of the interactive work from scratch.

I wrote this a long time ago and the commands are all in different places but it still works. Designing Forms with InDesign? Acrobat’s Replace Pages Feature is at Your Service.
