I'm building a conference registration where one survey can register multiple people in a group. I have only been able to increase the quota count by one since it's only one survey being submitted. I have a text entry question to determine the registration group count. Is there a way to increase quota counts with embedded data or other logic?
Based on this response from 2017, it doesn't appear possible to increment a quota by more than 1 per response:

- Create a contact list with one member using any dummy identifier for email or external data reference (e.g. email=1@1.com)
- Add another data field called something like seatsAvailable and set that to the total number of seats available at your event.
- Add an Embedded Data element at the very beginning of your survey flow and define your dummy identifier (userEmail = 1@1.com) and seatsAvailable (value to be set by panel or URL)
- Add an Authenticator based on your contact list, and set it to pre-fill your identifier and also pull in seatsAvailable
- During your survey, you can compare your text entry field to seatsAvailable to ensure that the requested number of seats are available and then subtract them from seatsAvailable.
- In the post-survey options, add a contact list trigger to update your existing contact with the new value of seatsAvailable.
Hi all,
I follow up on this topic because I had the same question.
I tried the solution proposed above by mmoore with no results (it did not update the contact list at the end).
Given that I am not able to implement a web service, I came out with a new possible and limited solution.
In my case the question in which I ask the number of participants has just 10 levels (1 participant - 10 participants maximum per form).
What I did?
- I created 10 quotas (I left 100 as maximum number): one per level;
- I created an embedded value "AvailableSeats" and declared with the number of participants (in total);
- I created an embedded value "RemainingSeats" and I did not assigned a value;
- I added a JavaScript in the first question where I put the code at the end of this post;
- It loads the available seats; the quotas that count each time a respondent select a level; calculate the number of seat that are already booked; calculate the remaining ones and store the value in the Embedded Data "RemainingSeats";
- To be able to select the right amount of seats, I added a Display Logic per each level of the question (e.g., the button "1" will be displayed if "RemainingSeats" will be greater than value "1").
