G2G: Remove "uncertain" tag for location, without marking it as "certain"? [closed]

Question

When I created the profile linked below, the location of her birth was about equally likely to be one of two locations. That has changed, now that her family can be placed at one of the two towns until after her probable time of birth.

I want to remove the "uncertain" tag for the birth location. However, I don't want to replace it by the "certain" tag; I just want to leave both empty, which is the default at profile creation. I don't want to claim 100% certainty where there is none; but I am at a place where marking it as uncertain seems silly, too.

So, how do I remove those tags?

If you have the WikiTree Browser Extension installed then you can de-select a radio button without selecting an alternative (see https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Space:WikiTree_Browser_Extension#Make_Radio_Buttons_De-selectable). If you don't have the extension installed then unfortunately once you have selected one of the buttons you can only change it by selecting a different button.

Thanks! I actually have that installed. I have now activated that particular option.

Thank you Paul. I had no idea this was an option. I've also clicked in error, but most frustrating is when profiles fall victim to persons, that clicking those status buttons are their favorite contributions and that is all they do to a profile. When I don't have enough reliable sources to be absolutely certain I choose to select neither and now I can reverse those edits.
