Is there some way to hide this blank radio button option? It’s rather annoying to have the blank option display with the other options…

Use a list filter to hide empty results. However, if this is the first option among many, it’s intended to reset the selections.

I already tried using the filter to exclude empty cells and it still shows.

Click the ‘Required’ switch—it will eliminate the empty option.

There’s only 3 options I am listing, but they are rather long so I can’t use the Chips option like I normally would and instead opted for Radio. I typically use Chips because of this annoying blank option on Radio. I know it is basically a reset to the input, but it would be nice if Glide made it like the Chips reset where you simply select the same option again to reset it… Guess I’m stuck with it. It’s a minor annoyance in the long run, but aesthetically it drives my OCD insane 😂

If you select required, then there is no need to for empty option 😉
