Control Choice - Do you know when to use options group Radio Buttons instead of ComboBox?

When the options are static items (not database driven) and they can fit on the screen (about 2-5 items), they should be radio buttons. For a ComboBox, user needs 2 clicks to change the value:
- Click the ⌄ button to see the available options
- Then click the option to select
For an options group, user can see all the available options without clicking, and select the option with just a click.

❌ Figure: Bad example - ComboBox is used for "Job Type" where it contains only 2 options

✅ Figure: Good example - Radio Buttons are used and aligned vertically
