SELECT field not limiting selections – Help please

    I have 2 SELECT fields in the form with LIMIT SUBMISSIONS enabled. For testing, I have limited the selections to 1 for each of the items in the dropdown.

    However, Forminator is not hiding the items that have reached the submission limit of 1. It allows the same item to be repeatedly selected even though it should not be available.

    I have exported the form with public access with this link.https://drive.google.com/file/d/11KuC7V2rANMC_OcXQCnQXxIyNLIXeX-F/view?usp=sharing

    Can you please review this simple form and inform me how to get limit submissions to work. Thank you.

    I updated the form so that the values in the calculation field now match the LABELS VALUE.

    The form still doesn’t work. Here is the updated export of the form:

    Hi @rhubeny76

    I hope you are doing well today.

    In the first place, 1st select items have the same value of 30, which is incorrect itself. Please correct them to those for example:

    • indoorsingle30
    • indoorcorner45
    • outdoor30

    Later on in 1st select remove all quotation marks which also affect those limits to work in correct way.

    For example change:

    Indoor Single (8' x 7') - $30

    to

    Indoor Single (8 x 7) - $30

    and so on.

    Similar to 2nd select where you use quotation marks. As soon as those are removed, limits should start to work.

    Kind Regards,
    Kris

    Thank you. Single quotes (unless preceded by an escape character) are problematic in code. I also noticed that I shouldn’t allow the webpage for this form to be cached by my wordpress caching plugin (wpfastestcache).

    When cached and served by static html, all options continue to appear in the dropdown. The limits still work but instead of removing the item from the dropdown when the limit is reached, you can still choose the unavailable entry on the cached page. Fortunately, Forminator returns an appropriate error message that the entry is no longer available. So I don’t cache that page.

    Marking as resolved.
