    Just stumbled across your product last month and have been pretty impressed so far. Great job team.

    I have created only 1 form so far and in that, there is a field "Events Interested" which has plenty of options given as checkboxes.

    If the user selects more than three checkboxes, how can I prompt him that "There is a limit of 3 events per person"?

    Would be great if you could please let me know at the earliest.

    Hi,

    The feature you demand exists in our Check Box field. Here is how you can do it:

    1. Click "Settings" button of the check box field;

    2. In the Settings, you can see a tab called "Surveying". When you click it you can the option "Entry Limits" appear in the tab:

    You can enter the desired value and edit your forms accordingly. You can also write a comment for the field to inform your users that they are allowed to check only 3 boxes to avoid any potential confusion they might have. Here is where you can do it:
