Hi all, and to Ulrike Fischer,
I hope you don’t mind me copying you directly on this post, as you were the one who provided insight into my question from yesterday. It is my understanding that the pdfmannagement package, and the example you used with the l3pdffield module only supports checkboxes at this time. Is this true? I needed to create a form with edit fields and radio buttons, but I’m not sure if I’m stretching the limits of what is possible at this time. What do you think?

Thank you and best regards always!
Cory
