    Hi Noor,

    Since this radio button field is a web resource, we can't synchronize old data all at once. We should open the record and then the values will be synchronized.

    For example, the original value of option set value was "B", and then I updated this to "A" and we refresh the form, the radio button value is also changed to "A".

    Also, if we choose the value in radio button field directly, the value of option set will also be updated immediately.

    Attention that this radio is a web resource not a field, which means we could not add this field on views or reports directly, so I recommend you to keep this old field so that the old values are also kept, and using this web resource radio button is just a different presentation on the form.

    Hope it helps.

    Best Regards,

    Leo

    If it is two option set, then you can make it as radio button.

    If it is option set, then cannot do with standard configurations. 

    You need to develop your own html web resource (community.dynamics.com/.../convert-dropdown-pick-list-option-set-into-radio-button-list-for-crm )

    Or develop a PCF control.

    Hi partner,

    We could not use OOB functions to convert option set to radio button field in D365.

    If you really need this, you could use custom web resource to archieve this.

    mahadeomatre.blogspot.com/.../convert-dropdown-pick-list-option-set.html

    community.dynamics.com/.../953209

    And I test it in my environment and it worked well.
