Hello:

   I tried the the api snippet on a CiviCRM 2.1.4 / Drupal 6 installation.
http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Custom+Data+Group+and+Custom+Field+APIs

$customGroup = $this->customGroupCreate('Contact', 'Radio_test_group');
$params      = array (
                      'custom_group_id' => $customGroup['id'],
                      'label'           => 'PriceRadio',
                      'html_type'       => 'Radio',
                      'data_type'       => 'String',
                      'weight'          => 4,
                      'is_required'     => 1,
                      'is_searchable'   => 0,
                      'is_active'       => 1,
                      'option_label'    => array( 'radioLabel1','radioLabel2'),
                      'option_value'    => array( 10, 20 ),
                      'option_weight'   => array( 1, 2),
                      );

$customField =& civicrm_custom_field_create($params);

This does create the Radio Button but the options are Inactive by default. Is this a bug ? because when one creates a Custom Field with multiple options by default each option is Active.

Thanks.

Yashesh Bhatia.

or maybe the code should be changed to make it default to active
in the file - civicrm/CRM/Core/BAO/CustomField.php:173:

$optionValue->is_active       =  CRM_Utils_Array::value( $k, $params['option_status'], false );

should be changed to

$optionValue->is_active       =  CRM_Utils_Array::value( $k, $params['option_status'], true );

agreed. since the BAO calls are used by the ui and api. We can fix the

api/v2/CustomGroup.php at around line number 190 to ensure we have true for all option status unless explicitly stated by
the option_status array to be 'false'.

    require_once 'CRM/Core/BAO/CustomField.php';
    $customField = CRM_Core_BAO_CustomField::create($params); 

also, i've made a note on the wiki  - http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/Custom+Data+Group+and+Custom+Field+APIs?focusedCommentId=12189697&#comment-12189697

thx.
