    Is there a way to make choosing some check boxes exclusive?

    For example if I have 3 or more options that would not make sense to allow all options or certain combinations to be chosen, can I prevent those others from being selected. For example:

    If my multiple choice list said:

    A) Thursday event for $10.

    B) Friday event for $10

    C) Both events for $15."

    I would want choosing option C would cancel or block the possibility of selecting choice A and B. (One might still choose "A" AND "B" but once C was selected it would cancel the others or auto-select "C" if that was tried.)

    Hi Mike,

    Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. I'm afraid that is not currently possible. It is not possible to disable options in a multiple choice field conditionally. What you can do is use the Single Choice Element.

    This way, the user can only select one item in the choices. Here is an example:

    Give it a try and let us know if you have any other questions.
