How can I create a setting to have only a specific number of selections for a ConfiForms survey?

[Nicholas Green]

Essentially I am using ConfiForms to make surveys for my project. The ask, requires a certain number limit of selections.

Ex: What is your favorite food? (Select 1)

[] Pizza

[]Hamburger

[]Chicken Wings

[]Hot Dogs

Hi, I am trying to fix a value to 6 instead of more or less. I need to restrict the field exactly at 6 characters, in my case numbers. I tried using the validation rule in the field definition itself and also tried adding a rule as it is shown on the link your shared.

I tried using this expressions already but still gives me error:

CostCenterID.asLength:==6

CostCenterID.asLength:=6

CostCenterID.asLength:6

CostCenterID.asLength=6

CostCenterID.asLength==6

Does it makes a difference if I type that in the field definition itself without adding the rule?

Validation Rules ConfiForms Field Definition Rule with a condition set to

!CostCenterID.asLength:6

Because, you need to define the "error" condition for your form's data and react on that

Perfect, it worked.

Hi

You can add a validation for the field to check for it's length

https://wiki.vertuna.com/display/TEST/Limiting+characters+count+in+a+field

Same asLength function returns the number of items selected for multi-value field (in the example it checks for field length, as field is a simple text)

Thank you @Alex Medved _ConfiForms_ 

Would you be able to provide me with what syntax I would use in the case of multi-select fields? 

[Alex Medved _ConfiForms_]

I mean, it is literally the same

mymultifield.asLength:>2

Will trigger when more than 2 options selected
