It looks like what you want to have happen is that a field is only saved 
if the accompanying radio button is checked. I don't know how to 
accomplish this in FormFu, but you can do it with some Javascript. Just 
create a function that will blank out the other options when the radio 
button is pressed.  If you want to do it using Javascript, I can try to 
write up the code for you.

You could also do it in CSS by hding the elements that are not selected. 
I have some code for this too, but it is a little complex to a CSS newb 
like me. I could show you my code for this type of solution.

This would be a very cool element to have in FormFu.
