Card Forms Multi Line Question: Would like the ability to set minimum and maximum number of selections for drop down fields.

    The multi-line question feature is great but the drop-down option does not allow a limit on selected items.


    If you use the drop-down feature as a standalone you can set a limit but within the multi-line question, you cant. 


    Is this a bug fix that will be addressed in an update.


    Any suggestions?

    With the multi line field, options for each field are a bit more limited than the stand alone version of the field.  With the drop down field specifically, it is possible to either allow multiple selection or disallow it, there currently isn't a setting to set a specific min/max for selections:

    Yea, they should definitely add that setting. It kinda sucks not having that. It's counterproductive to the multi-selection feature.

    It is possible to disable the ability to select multiple options, just not to limit to a specific number.  If you want it to function like a normal drop down field, set multiple selection to "No" and it will only allow a single selection to be made.

    I know that, but I kinda need the ability to limit the number of multiple selections inputs. Just the same way you can when you use the drop-down feature just by itself.

    I will send a feature request to see if this is something that can be added.  Features are generally added based on overall demand.  If there is any progress to your request, we will let you know here in this thread.
