Allow limiting/requiring a certain number of selected checkbox answers

Open EricKerby opened this issue 4 years ago • 2 comments

The checkbox question type should provide the following instruction/validation options:

  • Require an exact number of checkbox answers be selected
  • Require at least a certain number of checkbox answers be selected
  • Limit selected checkbox answers to no more than a certain number

This is useful, for instance, if you need to have someone choose their "top 3" choices from a list of options.

Hmmm, what's your intended outcome? For the person to a minimum/maximum of X options? Or to express a preferred subset preference?

I'm struggling to see how the "top 3" example would work here.

I only ask because I've done similar "top X" or choose what order" type questions by using 2 columns - left has all options, and right is the users preferred options (a subset of all options).

The user then drags from left to right and the order denotes the preference.

For my use case, it is to select (or vote for) a minimum/maximum of the options. No need to specify an order. Example: vote for 3 out of the following 5 candidates.
