How to restrict list to add only limited number of users

[Amol Pawar]

Hi Experts,

I have a requirement where I need to restrict the users by adding multiple users using the list.

As you can see in the screenshot, here I can add n numbers of users. Can we restrict this to add only 2 users?

If yes, then please reply with a solution.

Thanks in advance,

Regards,

Amol

Hi @Amol Pawar,

Take a look at this solution: Limit values that can be entered on list collector variable 

Also, go through this article: Limiting Number of Selections in a List Collector 

It will help you to limit user selection in list collector field.

If my response helps to solve your issue. Kindly mark it as helpful & correct. It will be helpful for future readers.

Hi @Amol Pawar ,
You can use script below in onchange client script:

var variablename = 'variable name here';


var mylist = g_form.getValue(variablename).split(',');


var maxitem = 2;


       


       if (mylist.length>maxitem){


               var mynewlist = [];


               for (var i = 0;i<maxitem;i++)


               {


                       mynewlist.push(mylist[i]);


               }


               g_form.setValue(variablename,mylist[i]);


               g_form.showFieldMsg(variablename,'Only 2 items can be entered','error');


       }


}

Hi @Rahul Talreja and @Sagar Pagar ,

I've used the below code and it's working now but if I add 3rd user, it's removing the first two users and keeping the 3rd one. How can we achieve that it should keep first 2 users and remove the third one after adding?

function onChange(control, oldValue, newValue, isLoading, isTemplate) {
if (isLoading || newValue === '') {
return;
}

//Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below
var add_secondary_spocc = 'add_secondary_spocc';
var mylist = g_form.getValue(add_secondary_spocc).split(',');
var maxitem = 2;
if (mylist.length > maxitem) {
var mynewlist = [];
for (var i = 0; i < maxitem; i++) {
mynewlist.push(mylist[i]);
}
g_form.setValue(add_secondary_spocc, mylist[i]);
g_form.addErrorMessage('You can add only two secondary SPOCs');
}
}

Thanks in advance,

Amol
