Dear colleagues,
Good day or night!

We would like to set quotas of answer options for multiple question. And when the quota is reached this answer should be hidden for other participants from this question.
For example:

Q1. What colors do you like?
a. Blue (quota: 10)
b. Red
c. Green

When quota is reached the question should be:
Q1. What colors do you like?
b. Red
c. Green

Thanks a lot in advance,
Kind Regards!

Your LimeSurvey version ?

Our version of LimeSurvey is 3.25.16+210302

You need to do it with javacript solution …

You can use
gitlab.com/SondagesPro/ExportAndStats/getStatInSurvey plugin.

So, you do not want to use a quota.
Quota means, the 11th participant who selects "blue" is screened out.
Here you find an example. with the plugin Denis mentioned.

Dear Joffm, thanks a lot for this idea!

However, plugin does not work for me. Would you be so kind to have a look at your amended survey? Put it in attachment.
It shows that this function is unsupported. We tried to count the amount of every answer and show them in the next question until the sum is below 5.

Thanks and regards

Hi,
there are a few mistakes on your side.
1. You work with version 3.x.; but you try to use the function "statCount".
This plugin is only available in version 4.x. How could you activate it?

LimeSurvey 4.4 have an included plugin for statitstics

manual.limesurvey.org/StatFunctions

You have to use the plugin "getStatInSurvey" Denis mentioned this and showed the link

2. You changed the question "QValues" to type "multiple".
a. It was "multiple numerical input", because here the result of the plugin are stored.
This plugin is not usable directly in equations; therefore the deviation with the javascript.
b. You used it as the question that you are testing.
But in the sample survey this question was "Q1".

3. The main mistake.
Both plugins are not working with multiple questions.
 

If you have a look at the source code of the plugin you see the supported question types

                    switch ($oQuestion->type) {
                        case "5":
                        case "L":
                        case "!":
                        case "O":
                        case "I":
                        case "D":
                        case "N":
                        case "G":
                        case "Y":
                        case "*":
                        case "S":

And here you see what it means
[url] www.limesurvey.org/manual/ExpressionScri...code_variable_naming [/url]

So you have to insert a hidden question to convert the input of the multiple question to single dummies. Could be a "numerical input".

Tomorrow I'll send an example.

statCount work with multiple choice question type

Q00_SQ01.sgqa retunr the column name of Q00_SQ01 .

And about statCountIf : if i don't lake error : it must work with (for multiple numeric) : statCountIf(Q0_SQ01.sgqa,">0") since it use compare I muts cjeck and update manual if it's the case.
 

Oh, sorry, Denis.
I answered too rash.
But I have to admit, I am still not very familiar with these two new functions.
