Associate Property Group in RDz does not permit multiple selections even though Check Boxes are used.

In the "Associate Property Group" window, the list of possible Property Groups are listed with Check Boxes. However, only a single Property Group may be selected.
Seems to me that Radio Buttons should be used instead of Check Boxes as Radio Buttons are typically used to denote a Single Selection whereas Check Boxes permit Multiple Selections.

    We feel this is a valid requirement but delivery within the RFE 2 year window is not likely. Please resubmit in 12-18 months for reconsideration if still valid.

    Attachment (Description): Only a single selection is permitted, however, the Check Boxes reflect that multiple entries are possible. Radio Buttons should be used instead of the Check Boxes as Radio Buttons indicate only a single selection is permitted.
