Writer • Radio Buttons & Variables

Is it possible to utilize radio buttons in a writer document without the need of macros?

Ultimately, I am looking to implement conditional text based upon a simple Y/N variable. I can do this simple enough with a user field where the user types in 'Y' or 'N' and then reference that field for the conditional text, but was looking to simplify and make the document/form a bit cleaner by using a radio button group where the user simply selects Yes or No instead of needing to type to a variable.

This would seem a simple enough task, and have tried referencing the name of the button group within the conditional text formula but get no result. I've done some searching and most things I find are expecting to tie the document/form to a database (which I am not looking to do) and otherwise default to using macros for obtaining the group value.

I guess I am looking to tie the radio button group to a Y/N variable within the document so that I can then reference that value for further functionality within the document without the use of a macro. Perhaps this is not possible though.

Or if there is another form control that can be utilized in this way without macros, please let me know.

Thanks,
