    Hello,
    Can you set a submission limit for a field within a form? So for example, our registration form has spots for parents to sign up campers for individual days of the camp season. I want to limit 20 spots per camp day, and once that day is filled we don't want anyone else to be able to select it. However, other days may still be available so the form still needs to be enabled. Thank you!

    Hello,

    If you use inventory widgets you can set a specific amount of something to be chosen and then once it's reached it will no longer be able to be selected.

    Hi Parker,

    Thanks for your response! Can I add this widget to a table? If not, can I make the drop down a two options (1pm and 3pm, the two different pick-up times). I am not selling something someone would buy more than one of. The form is a camp registration and each day has 20 spots. We need to be able to disable individual days as they fill up. Thank you!

    Hello,

    You can use multiple of this widget for each time slot. When the amount left reaches 0 the widget will still be visible but it will show as not available.

    Another option that you have is to use the appointment field.

    You will be able to set the limit to how many that can sign up by setting the field to group and then limiting the amount of people that can sign up for that time slot. This will give a calendar option if you want something more visual.
