Doubt about Qualtrics total sum

Hi everyone, I’m using a free Qualtrics account to create a culture survey for my company. I’m going to use the OCAI methodology for this survey. So I need to create a question, then provide 4 possible answers and ask the respondent to distribute 100 points among these answers. I want the total of the answers to be the element that ensures the respondent doesn’t move on to the next question before correctly allocating the 100 points. What’s happening is that I can’t seem to set this total as a restriction—meaning if the respondent allocates more or less than 100 points, they’re still allowed to continue answering the following questions. Does anyone have any tips to solve this situation?

Have you tried using Response Requirements → Add validation → must total 100?

It is an option available if you click into the question to edit it in the survey editor screen.
