Hi Prosper,

The idea of forcing a change to drop-down lists for data elements with
option sets with with more than 7 options (8 including "no value")  was
made to make sure the data entry forms could be rendered and work OK no
matter how many options the option sets have. You could have option sets
with thousands of options like the ICD 10 lists and generally more than 8
radio buttons don't work well on the form as it becomes hard to navigate.

I can see a need for radio buttons for option sets with more than 7 options
in forms with very few data elements, and where you know the number of
options will never be extreme.

Not sure how we can make this configurable and user friendly though. Any
suggestions?
