What you want does exist; it's just not a radio button (input type). You
are looking for a select (option) grouping with at most one selection
(that is, don't add multiple to the properties), not radio buttons. The
whole idea of the radio buttons set is that (as with your actual old
radio, which physically had to have at least one button depressed!) one
option HAS to be chosen. With select (option), you let the user choose
among options, among which you may or may not have one pre-selected.
