==================
Hello,
I think I did not understand how quotas work.
I will simplify here my requirement: we will use LimeSurvey to register people to a party we are going to have. People are asked whether they will come AND whether they will take somebody with them. However, we have limited seats so we must set a quota to stop bookings when there are no seats left.
I enclose a sample survey with a limit of three, just to simplify testing.
In the example I put only two Yes/no questions: will you come? and Will you take somebody with you?
In the quotasetting.png file I show how I set the quota.
However, to do the testing I posted two responses, one from somebody who comes with a friend and one with somebody comining alone. See responses.png. The quota is still at 1. A third person could book his seat despite having none left.
Where am I mistaking?
P.S.: I understand the quote I set is triggered only when the participant chooses to come AND to take a partner with him. Is there a way to count all people coming, instead?
Hi,
I'd use an equation to count the guests of one party, like {countif("Y",YouCome,WithPartner)}
then in a next equation the function statCount to count the total guests, like "if(statCountif(...)>3,0,1)"
Now you can set the quota on this last equation on outcome "0".
Due to a lack of time only a rough idea.

BTW:
Wouldn't it be better to use simple "bootstrap-buttons" with
0: I will not come
1: I come alone
2: I come with partner
Here you only have to count this single question.
