I want to limit respondents to sending only one submission

Hello, Great feature. I had one feedback. The feature "Prevent duplicate submissions" is not compatible with partial submissions, it's problematic. Ideally the check should be done as soon as the survey begins or when the ID that prevents duplicate submissions is known. Or at least, partial submissions should be flagged as partial when submissions are exported.

Prevent duplicate submissions is here! ✨ You can now accept only one submission per respondent. Go to your form's settings and turn on the "Prevent duplicate submissions" toggle, then select a unique identifier field (e.g., email address, phone number, IP address) to detect and block duplicate submissions. https://tally.so/changelog

Feature Request: Enable multi-date entries for a single user/identifier. Proposed Behavior: The system should accept multiple entries for the same identifier as long as the dates differ (e.g., submitting attendance for separate days). Current Issue: The uniqueness validation is currently restricted to the primary identifier alone, throwing an error when a user submits entries for different dates.

This feature is now planned on our roadmap: https://tally.so/roadmap

Filip Minev Yes I ❤️

Filip Minev Is it possible to combine it with this request? https://tally.so/feedback/p/capture-ip-address-of-form-respo… I'd guess that you'd check the respondents by IP address, so this would be a perfect addition IMO :)

Julius Foerster: I'm afraid collecting the IP addresses won't be shipped together with this feature, but I'll look into it further. The issue is collecting IP addresses might require a consent banner to comply with GDPR, since IPs might be considered as personal data. This complicates things. When it comes to "allowing only one submission", we will give you the option to block on IP, but we won't store the IP, it will be hashed and in this way anonymized, which makes it GDPR compliant.

I have implemented this feature in my website. It was real pain task. If I was able to integrate JavaScript in the form, it might be super easy but tally do not support it. I am waiting for stable solution.

Hirenkumar Patel Do you mind sharing what you have done? I would love to do the same. Please. Consider adding me on discord: ulvenhakon

This is the #1 requested feature and the team is absolutely silent...worrying to say the least.

Kyle Havlicek-McClenahan Thank you for the feedback. We are considering it. While it is the most upvoted feature, the requirements of everyone are very different and there is no 1 solution that would work for every use case described in the comments.

Mar 14, 2024

I would really like this to be included!

Supertokens can probably help with this. Authentication + add a counter per form, so it just limits each of them to the amount set.

Jan 16, 2024

I was going to come here just to write this, very useful against troll responses 😭😭

This can probably help too with inspiration: https://makeforms.io/features/otp-verification/

Give us a Christmas gift) We will be very happy, but for now it’s pain((((((( I sent you an example where 1 client completes a survey 6-8 times

Aventus Marketing: disgusting

YES

An entreprise or partnership integration with: https://www.otpless.com Or similar might help with this tbh

Nov 6, 2023

we regularly have untrue data when 1 customer sends a reply more than 1 time, this is a problem that needs to be solved

Oct 29, 2023

I think this can only be done by adding some sorta authentication before the user accesses the form so the system knows the count or uses allowed for that user. OR you can make the form "only" accessible via hidden fields so the users does not remove the parameters in the URL.

I made this suggestion to the development team many months ago, and to this day it has never been put into operation, it is frustrating not being able to use such a cool platform due to this single problem.

Daniel Mendes: that's why I am still using Google Forms :(

Just did a survey and got so many responses.. only to find out that they were bots or someone kept filling out the survey and pasting the same answers on every question. It would be REALLY nice if we could add some type of control to filter out people so they can only respond 1x or a Capta thing to filter out bots.

Sep 30, 2023

Ryan Shumway: sorry to hear about the bots issue :/ There is already a reCaptcha Block. You can use that! :) https://tally.so/help/recaptcha

My suggestion is to do this with the "hidden fields" feature. Tally need to make a check if a value in hidden-fields match with a previous value then the new respondent won't be able to take the form again.

Sep 19, 2023

This is absolutely vital to use Tally as a survey tool!

Sep 14, 2023

Yes! This would be so much more useful than manually pruning the CSV for matching cookies.

Sep 9, 2023

Agree this is crucial to avoid skewed results if people can send multiple responses

Sep 7, 2023

This is a must-have feature to avoid messy data

Sep 4, 2023

Yes pleaseeeeeeeee

Sep 3, 2023

This is a critical features to be honest!

Sep 2, 2023

How is this basic feature taking so long!

Aug 22, 2023

it would be extremely interesting and useful. To do absolutely

Aug 21, 2023

I came here to suggest this and alas! It was here. When are we having this feature!

Aug 11, 2023

Yes please!!!!!

Jotform allows you to select the property / field that should have unique values. For instance it could be some sort of identifier you're passing through as a URL parameter. This kind of flexibility would be great.
