    Hello, ILOHRD 2020!

    Unfortunately, there is no option in the Date Picker settings to limit the number of entries. However, you can use the Appointment field instead. This might fit your requirements.

    Let me show you how:

    • In Form Builder, click on the Add Form Element.

    • Select the Appointment field or drag and drop it into the form.

    • Click on the Gear icon and customize the Intervals and Appointment Slot Duration under Availability tab. Please see the screenshot below for steps from 1 to 4.

    Doing this allows you to customize the time slots.

    • Next, click on the Limits and fill in the desired number of Maximum Appointment per Day.

    This allows you to limit the daily appointments according to your desire or requirement.

    Hope I was able to help you.

    Hi ILOHRD,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. You can use the appointment field to allow your form fillers to choose a specific date with limited availability. Let me show you how:

    • In Form Builder, click on Add Form Elements and choose the Appointment field.
    • Drag and drop it into your form.

    This allows you to customize the time slots. You can also limit the Maximum Appointment Per Day to disallow more than a given number of appointments. Let me show you how:

    • Click on the Limits and fill in the desired number of Maximum Appointment per Day.
