This returns in empty radio-buttons and thus “illegal choices”." Hi, author, I totally agree with what you explained here. I have got the same problem. I write a radios button in custom module. and cannot get default value for radios.....so it shows me this error. would you explain a little bit how to set default value for radios. I did try to search online. thanks “Hi JirkaRybka,

Try adding ‘#validated’ => ‘TRUE’ to form elements definitions:
form['my_dynamic_select'] = array(
‘#type’ => ‘select’,
‘#validated’ => TRUE

)
