An option to limit the number of responses
I need to do registrations for events that have only limited number of seats. For that It would be great if I could do a survey that closes after certain amount of responses.

We need this ASAP! My organization is constantly requesting to use forms for Scheduling, and they need it so we can restrict time slots to only 10 submissions. So when after the 10th person submits for say 10:30, it becomes greyed out and people can't select it. And for those who had an instance open prior to 10th submission will get notified with "Time Slot Full, Please pick another Time."

Any update on the status of this idea?

Having the same trouble with limiting the number of respondents for a time slot so to say.
Imagine you have 10 seats and a bunch of time slots (for a workshop, social initiative, event etc.)
People should be able to vote for one seat and one time slot or maybe 2 (optional) for voluntary work. Once a time slot has been filled it should not be active for next participants within the form.Furthermore if the first question in the form is the name of the participant, next the department it should tag via e-mail account in order to provide only one full survey response.
This would be a really valuable feature for organizers of workshops, social initiatives, events, volunteering etc.
Please consider this option. as you already have dates. But often there are two dates, few seats and couple of time slots so a solution regarding such type of forms would be beneficial for all.

This a a great idea. We already use it for some event scheduling but not being able to limit the amount of answers is the reason why we still use SharePoint with complicated Nintex workflow.
We have "New Form", "New Quiz", how about "New Event"? With possibility to limit the amount of answer PER OPTION. i.e. If I have 3 sessions I can choose from, they may not all have the same capacity and I would expect that each session closes when it reached its own capacity/limit. Bye bye Nintex Workflow -

I would go even further in term of feature request: we have "New Form", "New Quiz", how about "New Event"? With possibility to limit the amount of answer PER OPTION. i.e. If I have 3 sessions I can choose from, they may not all have the same capacity and I would expect that each session closes when it reached its own capacity/limit.

RSVP survey for a training needs to be able to max out. We have a limited number of spots available, so we need to be able to close the survey after that number of responses has been reached.

Fantastic idea, would work well for events where limited spots are available etc.

It will be good if I can limit number of attempts for the quiz. now we have either one attempt or open number of attempts.

I'd like to use Forms to book training sessions more. Due to room capacities I too cannot afford to have classes booked beyond the room capacity. Right now, the only way to keep the sessions from exceeding a limit is to monitor responses and then manually remove questions from the Form as the limit is reached (the original response is saved and can be sorted in the exported Excel file).

yes - We need to be able to either add the prompt to "enter another response" or End the survey. Currently, the prompt appears and we do not have a choice. This allows for multiple responses from the same person. :(

Since this USED TO BE available as as add-on in Google Forms, the ability to limit how many times a response can be chosen, and then that choice disappears when future respondents see the form, wold be a huge selling point in trying to get all my Google users to adopt Microsoft Forms.
