Limiting to 5 choices in a dropdown field

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by

I need to limit it to 5 options in a multiple choice dropdown, that is, if it selects more than 6, it gives an error

 

You can delete his 6th choice or test if the dropdown has more than 5 options already selected, it gives an error

    Please take a look at this solution previously documented by @IiAm_ManCat

    https://powerusers.microsoft.com/t5/Building-Power-Apps/Combo-box-selected-items-limit/td-p/188040 which uses CountRows in the OnChange property to detect how many selections have been made.

    So, there's no way to delete the user's last choice?

     

    As in the solution above, what a priority and a lot! Is there any way to reset the field or reset the last option?

    Unfortunately, I am unaware of a way to reset the last choice made.
