unable to assign radio button control type and certain value lists to field

This is something I've never experienced before - but then I've just moved to Lion.

I have a text field that I'm trying to assign the 'radio button' option for control types. It is grayed-out and unassignable.

I'm trying to assign a 'custom value' value list to the field and it and about 1/2 the other value lists in the solution are grayed out and unassignable.

What's going on? Why are some Value Lists unassignable for use and why am I not able to use the 'radio button' control option? This is really frustrating.

(i"m using FM11 advanced/Mac OSX Lion. Previous development on earlier versions of Mac OSx did not exhibit this behavior)

The file is locked.

Or read only. Right click (or command-click) the file, select Get Info, and make sure the current user has read and write privileges.

This is a mature solution. I've recently made numerous scripting changes since moving to Lion,I can add and change data. I can select any of the 'control types' for a field except 'radio button' (it's grayed out) and I can assign about 1/2 of the 100 value lists I have defined in the file (the others are grayed out including a new one I just created). Only when I went to add another field to a layout and attempted to assign 'radio button' control to it did I discover the problem. The problem exists on all layouts in this solution

That doesn't sound like it's locked! And it does not show 'locked' on 'get info'. I have read/write privileges on the file.

The issue apparently exists in all my solutions - not just this one. Yet those fields assigned radio buttons and value lists before I moved to Lion still work.

Any other thoughts?

Have you installed the latest FM update yet - the last one addressed some Lion issues.

I reinstalled FM and reinstalled all the updates and all is well.

Kind of scary. FM didn't recognize it was broken. I wonder what else wasn't working that I hadn't discovered.
