When I create a view (block) and create an exposed filter I have the choice of a Filter type to expose between

• Single filter and
• Grouped filters

If I choose the Grouped filters I am presented with an option to chose the Widget type

• Radios or
• Select

But if I chose the default Filter type the form lacks the Widget type option.

I cannot think of any reason why the regular exposed filters shouldn't have this widget type option to chose from.

Can anyone tell me ...

• Is there a reason for this?
• Is there any patch that I didn't find until now that fixes this/add's the feature?

##FYI: There is a hard coded switch in the Drupal core which automatically changes the widget type from checkboxes/radios to select based on the number of options regardless of the Widget type settings in the views form (1-4 options: radios, 5+: select). That issue is patched here: Grouped exposed filter with "Allow multiple selections" ignores widget setting

#Edit I don't want the alpha version of Better Exposed Filters module like suggested by some.
