Demo scenario:

• I have 25 questions.
• I give users 25 "credits" to spend on various questions.
• Maximum credits assigned by one user to one question is 5 (but might be 0, too).

System controls that:

1. Total amount of credits is not exceeded
2. No question has more than 5 credits assigned

Simple example:

Question	Credits assigned
Question 1	2
Question 2	5
...	...

Is this possible to achieve in limesurvey? Thanks

This is not part of the scope of Limesurvey.

However, you could try to do something with Expression Manager and general maximum.

So you could build a control question that reads the values attributed to the questions.

However, this depends very much on the type of question that you are using.

Well,

you could do with a multiple numerical question - but the questions have all to be subquestions of that question. In the advanced question settings you can set the maximum suum they have to meet.

Carsten, thought about this too, but I am not sure if this works in this case. I am not sure if you can limit each box to 5 and I think you can't proceed if you don't make it to the maximum... But worth a try, depends of course about the specific example.

OK, thanks for some hints, subquestions won't be a problem, problem will be that user wouldn't be notified how much "credit" he/she has...


I might try it, or programme myself some easy javascript form..

No need of JS here. EM can do it.

Each can be taken from attribute or another question (even Equation)
