Limit number of choices in multiple choice

In Microsoft Forms currently it is possible to have multiple choice questions were we can set only one choice or many choices. I would like to see an option were we can have specified number of choices allowed, say 2, 3 or 4 out of the available options. Instead of One or all.

    Please add this feature soon at least in Forms Pro, all competitors have this basic feature.

  • Aaron commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes, it will be user friendly to limit the choices intead of unlimited choice selection

    Agree, with everyone else. It is a basic function and it is pretty ridiculous that it's not available.

  • Dani F. commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    This seems so basic; I can't believe it's not an option. It's quite common to have a poll with multiple choices and want to allow users to select their top 3 (or however many). Please add this!

  • Aaron commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Yes, it will be useful to collect data accurately by limiting the options.

    A survey with list of options, and user can only choose say maximum 3 choices. It is a useful function, which google form can make it long times ago!

    Should be easy to implement. Just add something so when I choose to allow "Multiple answers" it pops up a little box saying "Answer limit" and let me type in a number. I'm creating a poll right now with 8 options and I want people to choose up to 3 answers. Only thing I can do is rely on the honor system.

    Yes, a voting scenario would be so helpful! For example, we have a scenario where there are 10 possible choices, but we'd like users to pick their top 3 - and rank them

    Use Case:

    Using multiple choice questions in a voting scenario.

    Example:

    Have a multiple choice question where 10 possible choices are given and multiple answers has been turned on. Be able to limit the voter, in this example, to choose 6 of those 10 options.
