Limit Number of Submissions per Option

Hi there, Good news — this is already possible in Tally, so you don't need to wait on a feature request! For both Multiple choice and Multi-select questions, you can limit how many options a respondent picks: Click the ⠿ (block handle) on the left of your question to open the block settings. Enable Multiple selection. Once that's on, you'll be able to set a minimum and maximum number of answer options. If a respondent selects too few or too many, Tally shows an error message when they click Next. You can read more here: https://tally.so/help/multiple-choice https://tally.so/help/dropdown So you can set the exact quantity limit you're after with the min/max choice settings.

Hey team, just wanted to add a comment in support for a limited-resource feature. Our specific request can be found on Reddit here: https://www.reddit.com/r/TallyForms/comments/1t6rgye/simple_… The goal is for us to be able to do simple event registrations with limited ticket availability with Tally.

Thanks for using Tally and for sharing your feature request! We really appreciate you taking the time. ✌️

Hola! 👋 Moltes gràcies per la teva proposta — és un cas d’ús molt interessant. Ho tenim en compte com a sol·licitud de millora i ho considerarem per a futures millores del producte. Actualment, Tally no disposa d’una funcionalitat nativa per: -limitar el nombre de respostes per opció dins d’una mateixa pregunta -ni mostrar en temps real les places restants (per exemple, “32 de 35”) Tot i això, pots aconseguir un comportament similar amb un workaround: Possible solució Crea un formulari inicial (landing) amb les 4 opcions (franges horàries) Configura cada opció perquè redirigeixi a un formulari diferent Crea 4 formularis independents (un per cada franja horària) A cada formulari, limita el nombre de respostes a 35 👉 Pots configurar la redirecció aquí: https://tally.so/help/redirect-on-completion 👉 I limitar les respostes des de Settings: https://tally.so/help/form-settings D’aquesta manera, cada franja tindrà el seu propi límit. La redirecció és transparent per a l’usuari. Amb aquet workaround, no és possible mostrar quantes places queden disponibles en temps real. Si vols que t’ajudem a configurar aquest workaround pas a pas, escriu-nos a: https://tally.so/support

I need this option so bad. I am making a sign-up form and this will save so much time. I would pay for it.

Hi Anthony! Thanks so much for the suggestion regarding locking answers — we really appreciate the feedback on maintaining quiz integrity. While we don’t have a native "lock" feature for individual questions yet, we have a workaround that is quite effective in this scenario. You can hide the Back button on your form so respondents cannot navigate to previous pages to change their answers. To achieve this, you can use the following Custom CSS snippet: .tally-back-button { display: none; } Just a quick note: Injecting custom CSS is a Tally Pro feature. if you need any additional help implementing this workaround just send us a quick note via https://tally.so/support.

Just wondering if we have this feature already or the timeline we're planning to have this? Much love for Tally Formss!

Agreeee!!

Thanks so much for the suggestion, Louan! This is a great idea, especially for use cases like event registrations or limited-capacity sign-ups. We really appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback — it's definitely noted.

Hey Yan — thanks a ton for the feature request and for being a Tally user! We love hearing how you're using it for event planning. 🙌 Limiting the number of responses per choice is a popular request, appreciate you sharing this with us!

Hello. I have the same need to put a limit on an event per date. So, hope something will be created soon! :o)

Hey Adi! You can definitely limit respondents to selecting exactly 2 options using the “limit number of answers” setting on a multiple choice or multi-select block — here’s how: https://tally.so/help/multiple-choice#8d98b6d29bd048e494cf5e… or https://tally.so/help/multi-select However, it’s currently not possible to set a per-option limit (like hiding an option after 80 people have selected it). That’s not supported at the moment, but we’ll keep your use case in mind as we continue improving Tally. If you need help setting up the selection limit or anything else, feel free to reach out to Tally Support — we’re here to help! https://tally.so/support

Hi all, FYI - a Tally user reached out to me to share they were able to set this up themselves using our API. If you feel like giving that a try on your own form, don't hesitate to apply for API private beta access here: https://apply.tally.so/api

I'd like this same feature for a different function such as inventory tracking. If I had 1 pear, 2 apples, and 3 bananas; I would like for the form to hide the options after any given one has been submitted 'x' amount of times. For example, if 2 people submit a form with the "Apple" option from a dropdown, then the next person to open the form will only see pears and bananas as an option to select. Ideally, this feature would appear on the left as a pop-up menu with the six dots, similar to the "Placeholder" and "Min/Max characters" dialogue boxes. I have tried to execute this with calculated fields and conditional logic, but they seem to operate based on each submission, rather than a macro view of all orders to be able to hide options.

PLZZZZ consider this. at the moment i have to use the JotForm gift function in the form builder to achieve the desired effect.

This feature would easily allow for someone to purchase multiple tickets to an event that only has a maximum number of tickets available.

If they added this, they would make my rating from a 9/10 to a 10000000/10 😁😁

Same! I'm quite a power user and the lack of quota setting is the only reason why I'm not switching yet. Please please develop this option!

I guess this is - more generalized - a block where answer options come from a table (aka a shared resource). For which then, through options, can be configured whether an option can only be selected once or not. And if people can select only one, or multiple options. And whether the answer options are yes-no or yes-no-maybe And some tooling for easily generating the answer options based on calendar selections.

please add this. it will be awesome.

This will be very useful. I'm thinking about building sign up forms and there will be different positions. I wonder if it's possible to do this somehow? I can only think of using multiple forms to achieve this.

I have the exact same question !
