How can I limit the number of items that can be entered into a list?
- Jul 31, 2017You may be better off listing all sessions in one list with spots available
user registrations using a forms which go into another list, this form has a lookup to the sessions list with a filter to only show sessions with spots > 0. And a workflow on each registration to take a spot available from a session each time a person registers.
This would need to be an enhancement to out of the box forms using javascript, powerapps or another 3rd party forms product
Thank you all very much for suggestions. You were most helpfull!
Warwick Ward, I tried you approach and it does the trick!
One master list with all sessions and places available.
One registrations list, with a lookup field to the masterlist, entry form shows only sessions that have places available.
When a registration is entered succesfuly a workflow kicks off and adjusts the number of available places in the masterlist.
Works just like it was meant to.
Thanks again!!

Hi Yvonne Klomp I am very much new to the sharepoint world. Would you mind sharing a bit more details on how you managed to setup this subscription list ?
Thank you in advance
