How to Enforce a Maximum on Quantity Selection
Learn how to set a maximum limit when allowing respondents to select quantities to control participation limits for events or contributions.
This guide explains how to enforce a maximum value when allowing respondents to select a quantity. This feature helps in situations where you may want to limit the number of guests someone can bring to an event, or items someone can contribute to a selection to ensure more respondents have an opportunity to participate.

Start in the Edit page of your form.
Step 2
Click on input
Step 3
Turn on the "Allow Quantities" toggle.
Step 4
When you Allow Quantities, you can set the help text label that respondents will see as well as set a Max quantity per selection (leave this blank if you do not want to specify a Max).
Step 5
When respondents complete your form, they will see the max shown on the quantity selection.
Step 6
Form validation prevents submitting more than the Max quantity allowed.

Benefits of enforcing maximum quantities:
