Restricting number of answers within a question

Just wondering of there was the capability to restrict the number of answers within a question in Forms? For example I want to give students 10 options (within a question) but only want them to give me 3 answers.

    Hi Lisa

     

    Edit: Sorry just read the question again (men can't multi task).\

     

    Do you mean to do something like this?

     

    Make sure that you turn on multiple answers.

    Cheers

      Hi Damien,

      I actually wanted it for Primary school students to vote. I want to give them 20 options but only allow them to choose 3. Does that make sense? I understand you can open 'multiple answers' but I want to disallow them choosing all!

        Hi Lisa

         

        On that basis, to my knowledge, there isn't any capability at this time to provide 20 options and limit to only 3 being selected.

         

        The best I can suggest is to use the subtitle to make it clear to the students that they are only to choose 3 answers.

         

        As forms evolves there may be an option to do it, but I'm not aware of one at this time.

         

        Best wishes for your forms query!

         

        Cheers

        Damien
