Can you limit the amount of choices selected in a Multiple Choice question? | XM Community
Skip to main content
Hi,



I have a multiple choice question with 9 choices, however I require the person completing this question to be only able to select 3 of them. The question is: "When you are deciding which degree to pursue, what type of questions are most important to you? Choose three".



There is another follow up question for each of the three choices selected so I have used Loop & Merge for this, which works well.



Can you limit the amount of choices selected in a multiple choice question? Obviously you can make it a "single answer" multiple choice question but what I need is more like a "triple answer" multiple choice question.



Any suggestions would be really appreciated.



Thanks

John
Yes, you can. Below is the screen-shot on how you can provide "at least" and "no more than"

for "Multiple Answer" question.

Great! Thank you so much for your help.

This answer seems to be outdated. I could use an updated answer, help?

Hi JulesSnarr
Yes, thats possible. Change an "Answer type" to allow multiple answer to get checkboxes.
Then you have to scroll down to "add validation" and turn it on. Then chose "answer range" and set your min / max answers that you like to have.
Does this help?

This didn't work for me. I want 2 options to be selected. 

Thanks! So if I go above 2 choices (i.e., B,C,D), I’ll get prompted only when I click ‘’Next’’. That works because I’m only allowed to select 2 choices.
 
But, is there a way to set it so that if you go above 2 that it automatically removes a previous selection 

So that it's only ever 2 choices highlighted?
 

 

I used the suggestions above in my survey question that asks participants to select “up to 5” answer choices. However, when taking the survey participants are able to click on more than 5 options, they just get an error message until they fix it. Is there a way to make it physically impossible to select more than 5 options before submitting the response?
