Per-Choice Limits

Per-choice limits are the core of Choice Eliminator. You give each option its own capacity, and the add-on pulls the option out of the form the moment that capacity is reached.

Setting Limits

1. Open your Google Form
2. Click Add-ons → Choice Eliminator
3. Open the Choices tab
4. Click a question to open the limits modal
5. Enter a number next to each choice (0 = unlimited)
6. Click Save

Supported Question Types

• Multiple Choice
• Checkbox
• Dropdown (List)

How It Works

After every form submission, Choice Eliminator compares each choice's current response count to its limit. If the count has hit the limit, the choice is removed from the form so new respondents can't select it.

• Counts update as submissions come in
• Removed choices reappear if you raise the limit or clear responses
• If every choice in a question is at capacity, a "No spots available" placeholder is shown in its place

Use Cases

Classroom Sign-Ups

Give each timeslot or workshop its own seat count. As each fills, only the remaining options stay visible.

Appointment Booking

List available appointment slots as choices. Each slot has capacity 1 (or your actual capacity) and disappears once booked.

Potluck Coordination

Assign each dish or item a limit. Prevents double-signups for the same thing.

Equipment Reservations

Use checkbox questions with per-item limits so each piece of equipment gets reserved only as many times as you have stock.

Tips

• Use the Refresh counts button if you suspect the counts have drifted (e.g. after editing responses directly)
• Leave a limit at 0 to keep a choice open indefinitely while others are capped
• Restore a removed choice with the undo icon, provided its current count is below the limit
• Combine per-choice limits with Google Forms' "Add other" option — "Other" responses are unlimited and don't count toward any choice limit
