let doc = Api.GetDocument();
let checkBoxForm = Api.CreateCheckBoxForm({"key": "Marital status", "tip": "Specify your marital status", "required": true, "placeholder": "Marital status", "radio": true});
let paragraph = doc.GetElement(0);
paragraph.AddElement(checkBoxForm);
paragraph.AddText(" Married");
checkBoxForm.ToFixed(2 * 240, 1 * 240);
let copyForm = checkBoxForm.Copy();
paragraph = Api.CreateParagraph();
paragraph.AddElement(copyForm);
paragraph.AddText(" Single");
doc.Push(paragraph);
copyForm.ToInline();
