I would like to change the default position where people can only and must only answer one question to 'people being able to answer at least one question and can click on a number of radio buttons at the same time. This could be used in asking people what foods they like to eat for example.   Would appreciate advice or something I can refer to that shows me how to do this.

Many thanks
Dave

Sorry, it's not clear to me from your description what you want to do. Please provide a more detailed description and a concrete example.

Hi Dave
many thanks for responding.   would like to provide a list of attributes a person may have e.g. positive aspects of their personality, and I would like them to be able to give more than one response - so they can click on more than one radio button. currently the default seems to be confinement to selecting only one option for this type of question in the question options available.
thanks

Ah, thanks for the clarification. The proper question type to use in such a scenario is <checkboxes> -- which allows for selecting multiple options -- instead of <radiobuttons>, which is confined to a single selection by design.
