$().SPServices.SPArrangeChoices saving not working in SP2013

[Itsmesri]

I have bunch of radio buttons groups and showing the horizontally with ().SPServices.SPArrangeChoices. all radio buttons showing correct. but saving not working for them. If I remove this code everything work fine. I need to show horizantal and save data.

<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="/dept/it/SiteAssets/jquery.min.js">//version jQuery v1.11.1 </script> //
<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript" src="/dept/it/SiteAssets/jquery.SPServices-0.5.8.js">// tried with SPServices 2014.02,SPServices 2014.01
</script> 

ChoiceArrange("Did the project implementation go as planned");
    ChoiceArrange("Did project communications meet business needs");
    ChoiceArrange("Was the project managed professionally");
    ChoiceArrange("Were the roles on the project clearly defined");

function ChoiceArrange(columnName){
$().SPServices.SPArrangeChoices({               
            columnName:columnName ,
            perRow: 5
    });

it is Sharepoint 2013

I am also having same issue. I am using SPArrangeChoices to lay Choice column values horizontally.
On new custom form, the code is working good. But on OOTB Edit form, the changes to the choice columns are not saved. If I remove the code, it works as expected.

I am having the same issue in SP2016.

@rweaver56 - I think you're the first post here in about 8 years! I don't even have an instance of SP2016 available anymore, so I'm not sure I can help. If you want to post your code here, I could take a look, though.

Hi Marc, Thanks for replying to my question (after 8 years! 😃). We are moving to SE in a couple of months! Won't that be exciting? I'm not sure what code you are looking for exactly. In my form I have the following: $().SPServices.SPArrangeChoices({ columnName: "Award", perRow: 4 }) Award is a choice column in the custom list with 4 choices. SPArrangeChoices works perfectly to arrange the choices, but it doesn't allow me to save the form. I'm getting a validation error that I can't leave the column blank when it is required. If I uncheck required, I am able to submit the form but it doesn't save the value in Award. I have found some other js that effective arranges the choices horizontally, so it's not a deal breaker for me anymore. Looks like I am using v 2014.01 (I don't have any control over that).

Sorry for the delayed reply. Since you were using v2014.01, you were probably missing a fix for that issue, as the last released version was v2014.02. Glad you solved it another way, though.

Since you're moving to SharePoint SE, you'll be in an entirely different world. Modern SharePoint doesn't allow us to embed arbitrary JavaScript in pages, so SPServices won't be of use to you anymore.

That said, some of your logic may be transferable to the SharePoint Framework (SPFx). Along with PnPjs, you can do all of the same things, but in a supportable and consistent way. If you ever need help, please let me know.
