Capacity per option

Separate from Max selections, which limits one respondent. A per-option limit is a quota on the option itself: how many people in total may pick it before it closes.

SettingWhat it does
Response limitSet on a single option, not on the question. How many respondents in total may choose that one option before it closes. Empty means no limit.

Hover an option in the editor and a small # appears beside it; type a number there, or use Response limit in that option's settings panel. Leave it empty and the option has no cap.

Respondents see the count enforced live. When an option fills, it is dimmed, marked Full and stops being selectable for everyone with the form open. Nobody has to refresh. Someone who had already chosen it keeps their choice.

The last place is settled on the server, inside a transaction. If two people submit for the same final slot, one is accepted and the other is told the option is no longer available and asked to try again. The quota can never be overshot.

Twenty seats per session, six slots per interview day, one nomination per role: the question stays open for as long as any option still has room.
