PDF scripting - Can I check multiple checkboxes based on their value instead based on their name?

I just recently started with JS and PDF scripting, in particular, so please excuse me if this is maybe a rather basic question.

I would like to add something like a bar rating to my PDFs. I have a number of checkboxes (number varies between 5 and 15), and I would like to check all checkboxes left of an mouse up event. When a checkbox is checked already, I would like to uncheck all checkboxes right of this event.

I have managed to achived that already using uniquely named checkboxes that follow a specific naming convention (xx-1, xx-2, xx-3 etc.) Please note, this is for a rating of 1 to 5, hence the d < 6 in the loop. Still working on a way to recognize the number of boxes beforehand.

How it looks

function bar(){
var [dName, dValue] = event.target.name.split("-");

if (event.target.value === "Yes") {
  for (d = 1; d < dValue; d++) {
    this.getField(dName + '-' + d.toString()).value = "Yes";
  }
  
} else if(event.target.value === "Off" && dValue == 1 ){
    for (d = dValue; d < 6; d++){
        this.getField(dName + '-' + d.toString()).value = "Off";
    }
  
} else if(event.target.value === "Off"){
    for (d = dValue; d < 6; d++){
        this.getField(dName + '-' + d.toString()).value = "Off";
    }   
    this.getField(dName + '-' + dValue).value = "Yes";
}
}

My question is now: Can achive this using checkboxes (or similar) that share the same name but have different values? When I set it up, selecting a checkbox automatically deselects all other checkboxes like a radio button? Thinking ahead, if that is not possible, how would I use the bar information (dValue) outside the function in other fields?

Thanks for your help.
