Limiting the number of persons who can choose one answer
I want to use Forms to plan information sessions for my organization. I would use something like this:
a) February 12 2 to 4 pm
b) February 13 10 to 12 am
to make them choose the option that is the best for them.
The thing is, I don't want 200 persons to choose the same session. Is there any way to limit the number of people who can choose one option? I know it is possible in Doodle, but I've never heard of it on Forms.
Thanks!
asgobeil no it's not possible with Forms. You would need a flow in Power Automate to add each response to a list in SharePoint and count those, and if there were more than x then send an email back saying the session is full.

amtPBM since my earlier answer I've built a system in Power Apps that checks the number of registered participants for an event and if has reached the maximum it disables the register button. It's more user-friendly and less clunky than the Power Automate solution I gave earlier.
But, as you say, it would be good to have this in Forms as more people build forms in that than in Power Apps..
