Is there a way to set a limit on how many check boxes the person can choose, but not limit the number of times those boxes are used? So if we are doing an election of say 30 people, but I want to limit the choices down to only 3 checkboxes can be selected. Is there a way to do this?

[@Simpletivity]

@@rondalenebrandonmoapavalle8257 Yes, you can do this in Google Forms. In fact, check out my next video (later this week) and I'll walk you through the steps!

[@mooneyfinemineral]

Hey there, question for you. Is it possible for the participants to see how many slots are left for an options? It's pretty necessary for what I'm trying to do and I don't see an option.

[@Simpletivity]

Sorry, but it doesn't look like this add-on provides that type of feature. But I'll keep an eye out for this feature!

[@AdamRooney-cq7cf]

Brilliant. Thank you for your video. Your guidance has helped me more than you realize.

[@kylabrits5350]

Hello, I am looking for an add-on that limits the amount of selected boxes chosen e.g. I have an election, there are 49 candidates which I list in a checkbox, the user is only allowed to choose 23 options, then they get limited, can you help me with that please?

[@Keeshj]

Looking for the same. Any ideas yet?

[@Genie74]

I'm probably very very late but: Create a "Checkboxes" question. Click on the 3 dots in the lower right. Select "Response Validation". You can now set a maximum/minimum (or exact) number of responses that the respondent can select. You can also customize the error text for when the respondent breaks your rule.

[@bianconerri87]

hi there, appreciate your content , is there a daily limit for submitting the quiz responses ? if yes how many responses? and if there is any chance to increase the daily limit for quiz responses ? thank you

[@veronicamtonga4450]

Very educative👍

[@shahrainbintirahmanmoe6634]

Just what i wanted. Thanks

[@shahrainbintirahmanmoe6634]

Unfortunately come back here after realizing it cant be used on multiple choice grid. But it still useful.

[@nicdisan]

thanks, beautiful tutorial, very clear, it works great. In the free version, how many times can you use it?

[@Simpletivity]

There is no limit to how often or how many forms you can use it on. The limit only applies to the number of responses per question.

[@nicdisan]

@@Simpletivity Grazie

[@ShawnBeardCPHS]

@@nicdisan It only allows a limit of 5 on the free version. For more you must pay $35

[@nguyenhoangminhhuy]

Thank you, it's help for me.

[@Simpletivity]

You're welcome!

[@marniepilgrim9416]

Hello. I have been searching on how to add responders' answers to a series of questions, to total 100%. And they cant successfully submit if the numbers do not equal 100%. So they have to fix their answers. I have been searching and searching but dont know the correct prompts to arrive to the right youtube instructing just this. And I have found you are the most simple and concise and thorough instructor. Do you have such video? Thank you.

Adorei o seu vídeo, era exatamente o que eu precisava!

[@mr.miftahuddin3688]

thankss!! Helpfull.

[@JaimeFlores-dh9yf]

Hello everyone, I am looking for an add-on that allows two versions (English & Spanish) of a survey coordinate on the back end to know which times are still available. I already have the add-on that limits multiple-choice responses in Google Forms, but I want to make sure participants that book on the English version or Spanish version will know which times are still open.

[@chali90]

Hi. How can you limit the choice responses from a MCQ/list which is going to be repeated again in a series of questions, so that previous answers do not appear in MCQ/list choices for the next questions?

[@Jenn_eh]

Does it save live? If there are multiple people using the form, at the same time, will it update in real time?

[@BRigwald]

Am I correct to assume that there plugin only affects what choices are presented to the person filling out the form and there is no checking upon form submission? Here's the scenario: 30 people in a room are given the form to fill out for 10 breakout sessions with limits of 3 people each. The first 3 people to submit their forms, select Session #1, which would then be officially full. The remaining 27 people still have Session #1 visible on their form and can select it. If 2 more people select Session #1 and submit it, does the plugin actually prevent those signups? My guess is that it does and the only thing the limiter does is prevent the choice from showing up on forms opened after the item's limit has been reached. Is that an accurate description of how it works?

[@eealliance5997]

If the first three people have session one, the forth visitor won't see session 1, they would have to select a different session. Depending on the limit you set, when the session is full, subsequent visitors will not see it.

[@ginger---]

I'm going to make an online shop using this! WAHAHAHAHAHA

[@mytangmok]

Hi...i have made form and use choice limit in session/date available. On top of this, how can i limit certain level of people can choose the session. Let say 10 manager can choose for each date available, 20 engineer can choose for each date available

[@pankajsaxena6545]

how i can limit a particular rsonse one in a day means if participant fill that response for a particular date he is unable to fill it again in same date when next date arrive the same option is again avaliable to him I have indivisiual form for on indivisiual user

[@deborahwarren9676]

Okay, I think this will work for me. I am now wondering how this will appear in the spreadsheet attached to the form.

[@arianaalexandropoulou1672]

Hi everyone! I do not have the toggle "Number limit:" and it is not working. I am testing it with different emails and it is allowing people to check the same box. Any help?

[@9LimaAlpha7]

what if i wanted to restrict the number of digits entered for a short answer to 10 numerical digits only and disregard any alphabetical inputs.

[@نايفمحمدالغنيمي]

Hi simpletivity, I have problem, I tried to do same like what you did but the problem is when i want to click at the number limit it was like empty, so i can't use the options. please answer me thanks for help us.

[@eealliance5997]

You can implement your own. kzbin.info/www/bejne/iHvTZadjas18Zqcsi=vUREkPwV2QFUG5vw

[@lotemdu8817]

Dear support team Hello I am interested in utilizing your professional product and have encountered an issue. My Google forum is separated into sections and whenever someone posts, the forum directs them to the appropriate section based on their choices. However, whenever I press the "Restore Choices" button within your add-on software, it erases the path to the correct section and begins the process again from the beginning. This causes inconvenience and I would like to know if there is a solution for this. Please let me know if there is a way to resolve this issue and continue using your product without interruption. Thank you for your time.

[@lotemdu8817]

what Happened if two people submit at the same time?

[@jeffsellers3497]

Good video but unfortunately, this only works up to a limit of 5 or less unless you pay $35 for the Pro version.

[@imolaszasz2128]

Do you know any simple solution that doesn’t have such limitations?

[@pedroaugustobb]

@@imolaszasz2128 I am looking into it too. Did you find it?

[@adhubyani]

great thank you

[@thomasaldrich4975]

but what if many people with the same selected option and click submit at the same time? will some get rejected and have to do it again? Sounds pretty annoying if it's so

[@dalipaga]

That's exactly what happened to me 😅

[@katebonk3458]

I don't see the toggle option to turn on the number limit - why is that and is there a workaround? It does not appear to be working.

[@aasiyafathima743]

Thanks a lot,, had done this limit form earlier,, but wanted to refresh my memory !! thnx😊

[@Simpletivity]

Most welcome 😊

[@Racle]

Tip: If you get error "To set value limits, a response sheet needs to be linked" (this isn't set on as default for some reason) Do this: Open a form in Google Forms. Open “Responses” tab In the top right, click three dots and then Select response destination. Choose an option: - Create a new spreadsheet: Creates a spreadsheet for responses in Google Sheets - Select existing spreadsheet: Choose from your existing spreadsheets in Google Sheets to store responses Click Create or Select.

[@ShariWormwood]

The add on isn't showing me the number or value options to select. Do I need to pay for the addon for this to work?

[@Simpletivity]

No, but make sure you are using the correct add-on. This one is now called Capy: Choice Eliminator.

[@ivicapavic3381]

a tutorial on this took a disturbingly long ammount of time to find for some reason

[@Simpletivity]

I'm glad you were patient and finally found it!

How to keep the validation for a question at least 2 and at most 4?

[@anarochellesignar]

How about limit or cut off date?

[@yarprime]

thank you

[@PamelaDavis-u5p]

Can you set the limiter to 400? Is there a limit?

[@janetomara1260]

I don't have the toggle button to turn on the number limit. Everything else looks the same. Where is the toggle? Is not working.

[@henkegilfillian8599]

Helped me out so much! Great Video! @simpletivity

[@GillianDennett]

What if I wanted to book on two days ?

[@textbookssection4601]

is there a free add on, this add on gives up to 5 and then asks for upgrade if more than that

[@cassavaboyquacu166]

Is there any that allows for more than 5 limits?

[@muhammadumartanweer1196]

how set limit upto 10, free addon only allows restrictions till 5?

[@pedroaugustobb]

did you find any solution for it?

[@ileadkiddocare4056]

why my choice limit box is empty?

[@ahmeddaacad-ip7eo]

Thank u

[@iru8564]

thanks sir

[@Simpletivity]

Most welcome

[@shannaatkinson3764]

Unfortunately, you have to buy the Pro version in order to have a limit of over 5.

[@pedroaugustobb]

Did you find any solution for it?

[@KatrienVanDenSteen]

It is only free until 5 responses.... I need 10 to 12 respones

[@pedroaugustobb]

did you find any solution for it?

[@dcfrenkel]

Limiter is not a free add on .
