Hello,
I would like to create an array with multiple answers and 3 possible choices.
Example:

Question a 1 2 3 no answer
Question b 1 2 3 no answer
Question c 1 2 3 no answer
Question d 1 2 3 no answer
Question e 1 2 3 no answer

The idea between this array is to use it like ranking 3 of each answers and make sure people can not select multiple times 1,2 or 3

Answer example:
Question a is 1
Question b is 3
Question e is 2
all other question are not answer

I can not use the ranking question type of lime Survey too complex to use for my users.

I like the last one too

The last one is not as bullet proof as the first one.
Personally I like the last one too. But I had respondents which assigned e.g 1 on two dropdowns and didn't get why they couldn't move on. The first ranking example is preventing that two items have the same rank assigned.

The difference betwwen the 1st and last are the "mandatory" set on the 1st one, if yu set mandatory to the last one too : you don't have to control 1 is set if 2 is set (count(self)==max(self)).

And if you disable mandatory on 1st : you need to add count(self)==max(self)

Hello, I like the first solution, but if I want to build the the array with the previous question like
"((H6_SQ001.NAOK == "Y" or H6_SQ002.NAOK == "Y" or H6_SQ003.NAOK == "Y" or H6_SQ004.NAOK == "Y" or H6_SQ005.NAOK == "Y" or H6_SQ006.NAOK == "Y" or H6_SQ007.NAOK == "Y" or H6_SQ008.NAOK == "Y" or H6_other.NAOK == "Y"))"
and filtering the array with question H6
Then the "unique(self)" validation does not work any more.
Do you have an idea?

unique(self.NAOK) maybe (surely)
