Hi all.
Working with user testing of the tracker capture app in Palestine, we see a possibility for improving the efficiency of data entry. The "Yes/No"(BOOLEAN) data types are presented as dropdown lists with three options: "Please select", "Yes" and "No". When having a high amount of Nes/No questions to answer, the users must do 2 clicks for each of them - one to open the dropdown and one to select the option(not counting fumbling with the dropdowns, closing them unintentionally). As an effort to speed up the data entry, we could use radio buttons instead of dropdowns for Yes/No(BOOLEAN).

It would be good to avoid yet another configuration flag. Can anyone think of a reason not to do this change for all of Tracker and Event Capture?
