Users on my site can only choose one role. If they don't choose that role, they are just normal users.
The checkbox can't be used, the selection box is just silly for selecting one role and the radio button is close but no cigar. The problem with the radio button is that it cannot be unchecked. So, some users will click it just to see what it does, then they cannot de-select it so they have to refresh the page and write their username and email all over again... that's a hassle.
So, I request a checkbox or radio button or something that can be selected and de-selected on the registration form without having to refresh the page.

cyberswat commentedIf a "checkbox can't be used, the selection box is just silly for selecting one role and the radio button is close but no cigar" what is left? I'm confused by this request so am going to mark it will not fix.
Comment #2
OneTwoTait commentedIt's a request for an option that users can use to select their role and be able to de-select that role even if they can only choose one role. The original post outlines the usability problem, the request, and the reason. So if you have a question, ask.
Comment #3
cyberswat commentedIs that not what a checkbox is?
Comment #4
OneTwoTait commentedThat is what a checkbox is, but the module does not allow the checkbox to be used if "single role" is selected under "User Role Selection" on admin/user/autoassignrole.
So, on the site that had this problem, I used a radio button originally. The problem is that some users partially fill out the user registration form, check the radiobutton, realize that they didn't want it checked, then have to refresh the page (thus losing the information they had entered).

cyberswat commentedok ... I can accommodate that by changing the validation rules on the admin to allow the single role selection to be a checkbox. Thanks for clarifying.
