How to make choice list input appear as buttons?

[Nick Parsons]

Hi all, I'm wondering if it is possible to make a virtual agent choice list input appear as buttons. For example, if I have a choice list input that has fewer than 5 options, it appears as buttons (desired):

When the choice list is changed to 5 or more items, a dropdown list appears, whereas I would like to keep it as the buttons as shown above:

Is this limit (5) configurable somehow (maybe in some sort of system property) so that I can add more than 5 options and keep them as buttons? Or is there some other way I could dynamically add buttons to a virtual agent input within MS Teams? 

Thanks

Yes there is a hard limit 5, Microsoft as well does not allow more than 5 (if I am not wrong). I did not find any official claim about this limitation. but in general when you try to add more than 5 it shows warning in adaptive card designer as well.

The following system property 'sn_va_teams.picker_button_limit' defines how many options are presented to the user before the options are displayed in a dropdown in Microsoft Teams,

The default value is 4 and you can increase this number if needed. Not sure if there is a limitation as well in Microsoft Teams, but I increased this to 8 and it worked fine.
