Radio Buttons

Hello, 

I've inherited an app that utilizes radio buttons and now needs new questions added to the current numbered questions in the form. However, when I add these new radio button fields it is showing them as "answered" in the legacy records. I don't have a default set to these fields but somehow they are all defaulted to "yes" in the legacy records that didn't even have this question prior. 

Not sure how to remedy this.

    Two choices.

    1. Delete the fields and make them again from scratch.
    2. Change the field type to formula text and then back again to multiple choice.  When you change them to formula text the data will be lost as the formula is blank.  But when you change them back to multiple choice they will remember the choices available to select.

    Did you create the new field(s) by copying an existing field.  When you copy an existing field it actually also copies the data contents of the original field.

      Yes, I did do that! Is there a way to have it not recognize the previous field data?
