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
