Only for the option sets it seems. BOOLEANs is always dropdowns.

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).
