How to create a multi choice ranking with limited option selection

I'm having trouble getting all of the form elements I want in one form, as some options are only available in Classics or Cards.

I think I've settled on using Classic cards, except I need to figure out how to replace the multi-line element.

I need applicants to rank their top 2 preferences from a choice of 10.

Additionally, I'm hoping to be able to use conditions to remove options when they've reached their limit. For example, if only 20 applicants can have each choice, can the selections be hidden with conditions when their individual caps are met?

Hi Laura,

Thanks for reaching out to Jotform Support. Since you require users to rank their top 2 preferences and limit the selection for each option, we'll have to use multiple widgets to achieve this. First, I suggest using the Gift Registry widget. Let me show you how:

1. In Form Builder, click on the Add Element button on the left, and click on the Widgets tab.
2. Next, search and select the Gift Registry widget.
3. In the settings on the right, you can customize the items and their quantity and max selections.
4. Click on the Update button and that's it.

Now, we have a field that limits the number of times an option can be selected. We can now add two dropdown fields to ask the user what their first and second preference are. Let's do it:

1. In Form Builder, click on the Add Element button on the left, and click on the Basic tab.
2. Next, click on the Dropdown field to add it to your form. Label it as needed.
3. Click on the Gear icon next to it, and click on the Options tab.
4. Enter the same options available in your Gift Registry widget and repeat the same for another Dropdown field.

Give it a try and let us know if you need any help.

I don't think this is quite the solution I need.

I want applicants to end up with ONE selection out of ten, and they are to provide their top TWO preferences. The first will be honoured if there is space left, otherwise they will be given their second priority.

Hi Laura,

There’s no conditional logic available that can remove options once they’ve reached their limit. Since you only want applicants to end up with one selection, using the Gift Registry widget alone would be the best way to achieve your requirement. This way, participants can select their main preference, and options that have reached their limit will no longer be available for selection.

Let us know if you have any other questions.

Is there a way to hide how many are remaining?

Hi Laura,

Yes, it's possible to hide it by Injecting CSS Code to the widget. Let me show you how:

1. First, copy this code:

.items-left{

display:none !Important;

}

2. In Form Builder, click on the Gift Registry widget to highlight it, then click on the Wand icon.

3. In Widget Settings on the left, click on the Custom CSS tab, then paste the code.

4. Lastly, click on the Update button at the bottom.

That's it. Here's the result:
