a!radioButtonField_23r3( label, instructions, required, disabled, choiceLabels, choiceValues, value, validations, saveInto, validationGroup, requiredMessage, labelPosition, choiceLayout, helpTooltip, accessibilityText, showWhen, choiceStyle, spacing )
Displays a limited set of choices from which the user must select one item and saves a value based on the selected choice. To save the index instead of a value, use radio buttons by index.
If the choice is not exclusive, then consider using checkboxes or a multiple dropdown component.
If there are many choices, make the component as large as necessary to display all the options. If a more compact presentation is desirable, consider using a dropdown component.
