For clients who use ConfTool 2.8.:
If you also want to allow all participants to be able to deselect a radio button, then you can create a hybrid check box and radio button. Within the group of events, only one item will be selectable. However, unlike within normal radio button groups, participants will be able to deselect any choice by clicking on it again.
Please go to this page:
Overview => Settings => Manage Event/Item Groups
... and open an event group.
For the option "Selection Mode" choose the setting "Exclusive: Use radio buttons so that only one event of this group can be selected".
Move on to the option "Minimum Number of Items to Select from This Group" and set it to "0" (see image 3).
If you set the minimum to 0, items can be deselected by every user by clicking on them again.
If you set the minimum to 1, only admins and organizers can deselect them using a double-click.
Deselectable radio buttons will take on a square shape (see image 4).
