I'd like to use a multiple choice question in a survey but limit the number of answers the participant can give. Example: Which if of following features would you like to see in the product? Select top 3. Is that possible. I looked in the documentation, trial and erro, etc. Did not find how. thanks!

Hi Lyne,

A way to set this up would be to use a Matrix question where:

  • The rows are labeled "Choice 1", "Choice 2", and "Choice 3"
  • The columns are the features (assuming there aren't too too many!)
  • You limit the question to one answer per row
