Configuring Radio type field

1.We will be using a Radio type button as a flag to enable the block or disable it, that way we will be creating a Manual lookup to put two options available (Full and Simple)

1.1 Creating a radio button with the name "Filling"

Remember to disable the checkBox to create a new block to position this field

After configuring each option, click on the "Include" button

In the onLoad event of your form, place the following code:

1. {filling} = "s";
   
2. sc_block_display('block2','off');

3.   sc_block_display('block2', 'on');
   
4. 
   
5. } else {
