Assigning radio buttons to specific signers

Community Beginner ,
Jul 29, 2021 Jul 29, 2021

I am using acrobat pro dc for teams. Last week, I was able to create sets of radio buttons that were assigned to specific users. This functionality has disappeared. Now, when I create a set of radio buttons and look at "properties", there is no way to assign it to a specific signer. I've gone around and around with Adobe support and they deny that this functionality was available last week! What is going on? Is it buggy, and they've dealt with the bug by removing the feature? Is there some markup language I can use to hard code a set of radio buttons??

Does you use Acrobat forms or Adobe Sign forms?

Thanks, but this does not work. If I'm in Adobe sign forms, the field type and participant role are not editable:

I was having this same issue. I found that when the radio buttons were at the bottom of the "Fields" pane, they defaulted to "Anyone". However, when I dragged the radio buttons to the top of the "Fields" pane, they defaulted to "Signer", which was my preference and was what all the other fields were set to. 

 

Here, you can see my radio buttons are in the red box at the bottom of the list.

Here, I've moved them so they are nested at the top. Don't know why, but it worked.
