Hello,

 

I've one multiple select Choice Field and it contains 1000+ values. I want the user should select only 7-10 choices not more then that.

Is it possible to limit multiple selection on Choice Field? If yes, how? Please suggest.

    I could not find any such alternative but have found a workaround that set SelectMultiple of Combobox as below:
    If(CountRows(Self.SelectedItems)=3,false,true)

     

    here I want user to choose maximum 2 Selection,
    As soon as user selects 3rd option, combobox takes it as 1st selection

     

    so you can use this formula and put a note that you can select maximum 2 options.

    You could have the displayMode of the choice box to be:

     

     

     

    If(
     CountRows(Self.SelectedItems)<11 && CountRows(Self.SelectedItems)>6,
     displayMode.Edit, displayMode.View
    )

     

     

     

    But then you must have an additional button or icon that allows you to Reset(controlName) the control so that the user can choose others if they want to
