Hi @Hels thanks for stopping by the community! Are you asking the same question a few times? Or if you don’t mind sharing your form URL so I can take a look, that’d be great!

Hi Liz

This is the questionnaire.  It is the questions at the end where they have to choose their 5 choices.

Thank you for your help

Hi @Hels ,

From a fellow community member - are you wanting to restrict someone from completing the same TF twice or are you wanting respondents to avoid seeing both of these messages?

@Hels - this comes from a fellow community member - that is a very comprehensive set of questions

it took a while for me to get to the drop downs but here is how you might want to consider the restriction - this is just a suggestion and there are likely more elegant solutions but ..

• Assume that the first dropdown question is question D1 (for ease of number) 
  • user selects a choice from D1 and goes to D2
  • user selects a choice from D2 and you use logic to determine if D1 and D2 are both the same selection 
    • if D1 = a1 AND D2=a1, then go to a statement page that says you already chose that one, please go back and choose another (repeat logic for all other choices in the list)
    • the statement page takes you back to D2
  • when user has two unique choices, let them go to D3
    • select choice 
    • If D3 =a1 AND D2=a1, then jump to another statement page that says you made a duplicate choice - go back to D3
    • if D3=a1 AND D1=a1, then ditto 

i created a little demo here  and is the logic flow diagram for that 

hope this helps

Very logical and helpful, des! That makes complete sense. Nice job!

This is so helpful, @john.desborough !! Thank you!

Thanks @Liz - the only thing that gets “awkward” about this approach is if you have a really long list and have to go through all the progressions lol.. 

the logic is simple, easy enough to do but when/if you had to do for 60 items in a drop down, the repetition of the “ logic would drive me nuts during the entry lol.. how many times do you really want to put in the ‘thou shall not pass” logic??

It would make my life if someone put this meme in their form. 

done  @Liz
