Hi,

I've recently started working on an extcap tool. It has a few arguments that I'd like to be reloadable. I've got a reloadable selector that works well (i.e. the button appears in the Wireshark GUI and it functions correctly). I tried adding {reload=true} to a multicheck arg to no avail - no button appears.

Upon closer re-reading of the developer guide, it looks like this is expected: (emphasis on 'selector' my own)

> A **selector** may be reloaded from the configuration dialog of the extcap application within Wireshark.

Is it intentional that multicheck and radio option fields are not reloadable by design? Or is it just that this functionality has not been required yet, so it has yet to be built? If it's the latter, I could submit a patch to add the functionality.

Thanks,
Aidan
