Once that limit has been reached the choice will no longer appear on the front-end. If you would like the choice to still appear but simply be disabled (not selectable), there is a hook available that will do this as well.</p> <p><a href="http://gravitywiz.com/gravity-perks/" rel="nofollow">Gravity Perks</a> ftw! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/radio-buttons-set-as-no-duplicates-but-not-showing-as-being-taken-already#post-323407 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 14:11:32 +0000 martyspellerberg 323407@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>+1. I need this also. In my case it's a bunch of timeslots we're asking people to sign-up for. We want already-claimed timeslots to be disabled or removed. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/radio-buttons-set-as-no-duplicates-but-not-showing-as-being-taken-already#post-276246 Sat, 25 May 2013 11:55:08 +0000 MVMG 276246@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>From the description it doesn't sound like it will. It doesn't describe giving a visual indicator if a field has been selected already (or too many times). I just sounds like it give further options to the default behavior which is to allow infinite or only one selection of a single choice, still not giving visual indicator of a selection has been chosen or not. </p> <p>I seriously can not think of one situation where you would have a radio button selection that you needed to have limited to one entry per choice, that you would NOT want to show your visitors which ones have been chosen. Gravity Forms people, this is a logic oversight that seriously needs to be addressed. </p> <p>In the meantime, Chris, please expand on this "GP Limit Choices" as it's description is pretty weak, and I'm not spending $100 for something I don't know will do what I need.</p> <p>Thanks </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/radio-buttons-set-as-no-duplicates-but-not-showing-as-being-taken-already#post-263197 Mon, 20 May 2013 10:20:23 +0000 Chris Hajer 263197@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>This functionality is not built in to Gravity Forms, but the solution linked to by Nathan will get the job done: <a href="http://gravitywiz.com/gravity-perks/" rel="nofollow">http://gravitywiz.com/gravity-perks/</a></p> <p>You want to use "GP Limit Choices" and it will do exactly what you need. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/radio-buttons-set-as-no-duplicates-but-not-showing-as-being-taken-already#post-263191 Mon, 20 May 2013 10:16:24 +0000 brett.rosser 263191@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I am interested in this as well, I have a form to book market stalls.

I'm not interested in having multiple fields combined or checked. I only want the time slots to be check, which they are. The problem is, if I have 50 time slots, and 45 are taken, it's going to take a user FOREVER to try to pick one without selecting one that's already been taken. </p> <p>Hence my point above. There is not point in having a system that will check for this duplicate entry, if it can not also display that is has been taken. Otherwise, it's pointless. </p> <p>Now for double checking an e-mail, your form works fine. You wouldn't typically want to display this info as that could be a privacy issue. </p> <p>Basically, text entered fields... and your system is fine. But for radio or list fields, you should display something that shows the user what's been selected BEFORE the user makes a choice. Otherwise you are wasting their time (and mine frankly)</p> <p>Micha </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/radio-buttons-set-as-no-duplicates-but-not-showing-as-being-taken-already#post-251790 Mon, 13 May 2013 23:43:02 +0000 nathanreed 251790@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I'd be interested to know how this can be accomplished -- for lack of a better phrase, an "inventory".</p> <p>In my specific use case, I'd like for people to be able to select from a short list of available phone numbers -- when one of those numbers is used / selected, it should either be marked as unavailable or not appear in the list of radio buttons.</p> <p>Is there an add-on or something that might accomplish this? </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/radio-buttons-set-as-no-duplicates-but-not-showing-as-being-taken-already#post-229759 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 10:38:32 +0000 David Peralty 229759@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I don't understand what you mean. Can you give me more information on your specific need? Our unique values only checkbox only checks each field, not a combination of fields. </p> <p>If you have it set to no duplicates, and a user selects a radio button and clicks submit, and that radio button value was already selected, then it will return an error saying that it was already taken. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/radio-buttons-set-as-no-duplicates-but-not-showing-as-being-taken-already#post-229756 Mon, 29 Apr 2013 10:35:33 +0000 MVMG 229756@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Okay, but it doesn't make much sense to have the logic in place for a radio button with out this. I get it for an e-mail or name field because they are unique, but if you're looking at a form with, lets just say 6 radio buttons, why would you not have this in place. The user doesn't have the ability to enter a 100% unique item. </p> <p>Basically, I understand why you're saying it doesn't work, but from a logic standpoint, you should just not have that feature for items like radio buttons if you're not going to have this feature. </p>
