I have the same data structure for checkboxes and radio buttons. When checking the checkboxes, they return correct boolean value ('chosen' variable).

However, when I check the radio buttons, 'chosen' always changes to the 'value' (integer).

Also the radio buttons don't get "checked" in the beginning, even though 'chosen' == true

Javascript:

function attributeValueViewModel(data) {
    var self = this;
    self.id = ko.observable(data.id);
    self.attributeID = ko.observable(data.attributeID);
    self.value = ko.observable(data.value);
    self.chosen = ko.observable(data.chosen);
}

function viewModel() {
    var self = this;
    self.attributeValues1 = ko.observableArray([]);
    self.attributeValues2 = ko.observableArray([]);
    self.addToList = function(data) {
        ko.utils.arrayForEach(data, function(item) {           
            self.attributeValues1.push(new attributeValueViewModel(item));
            self.attributeValues2.push(new attributeValueViewModel(item));
        });
    };
}

var arr = [
    {
        "id": 55,
        "attributeID": 28,
        "value": "Yes",
        "chosen": false,
    },
    {
        "id": 56,
        "attributeID": 28,
        "value": "No",
        "chosen": true,
    },
    {
        "id": 62,
        "attributeID": 28,
        "value": "Maybe",
        "chosen": false,
    }
];

var vm = new viewModel();
ko.applyBindings(vm);
vm.addToList(arr);

HTML

<b>Checkbox:</b>
<div id="test1">
    <span data-bind="foreach: attributeValues1()">
    <input type="checkbox" data-bind="value: id(), checked: chosen, attr: { name: 'test1' }" />
    <span data-bind="text: value()"></span>
    <span data-bind="text: chosen()"></span>
    </span>
</div>
<br />
<b>Radio:</b>
<div id="test2">
    <span data-bind="foreach: attributeValues2()">
    <input type="radio" data-bind="value: id(), checked: chosen, attr: { name: 'test2' }" />
    <span data-bind="text: value()"></span>
    <span data-bind="text: chosen()"></span>
    </span>
</div>?

Here is my fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/SN7Vn/1/

Can you please explain this behavior and why the radio buttons don't update boolean (like checkboxes do)?
