Any way to have a single option poll with just one option to choose from?

AI-generated summary

A user tobiaseigen requested a single-option poll but encountered an error. cpradio suggested adding a fake second option, while pfaffman proposed making both options “yes”. Mittineague recommended using the checklist plugin or hiding a “no” option with CSS.

tobiaseigen ultimately decided not to use a poll, but codinghorror and sam agreed that allowing single-option polls could be useful. Remah suggested a workaround using a regular poll with two options.

markvanlan noted that allowing single-option polls would require adding a “clear vote” button to undo votes. However, codinghorror decided to ignore this issue for now. markvanlan later merged a pull request that allows for single-option polls.

Maybe an odd request, but I’m interested in creating an “opt in” poll that just has one option, but the poll is throwing an error. Is there any way, even a workaround, that can work?

Put in a fake second option, delete it once it is in the composer and see what happens?

good idea but I tried that. Just tried again right here but it complains when I save the post.

make both options “yes”. :slight_smile:

I was thinking that instead of using a poll as a checkbox maybe the checklist plugin could do what you need

But AFAICT, it won’t.

Maybe make a “no” option and then use CSS to display: none it?

Then there will likely be a “100%” showing, so it feels like this is getting into new plugin territory to me.

How about “Like this post if you’re going to be there :heart:!”

But you can’t un-like to say you won’t, which I think is probably also a problem with a poll.

Another solution is a wiki, maybe.

@tobiaseigen if you want two options, instead of one, then a poll already works.

Thanks, all! Really appreciate all the suggestions.

In the end, I decided to just bag the poll in this case. Interestingly, I got a handful of likes already to the topic without even asking for it, so people seem enthusiastic and are showing it. :rocket:

I do think that down the road it might be of value to allow one option to choose from, but it’s not a high priority for me. Perhaps someone else wants to make it possible at some stage. The 100% showing issue seems to be the only potential snag, beyond the UX tweaks that would be needed.

:thinking: 투표 옵션은 하나만 가능해야 하나요 @sam @eviltrout? 괜찮을 것 같기도 한데?

네, 이 특정 사용 사례에서는 맞는 말인 것 같아요.

좋아요 @eviltrout. 이 제한은 완화하기가 꽤 쉬울 것 같네요. 혹시 이 이슈를 담당해 주실 수 있을까요?

원래 문제는 참석자 수를 알고 싶은 다른 RSVP와 마찬가지로 해결할 수 있습니다. 보통 누가 함께 가고 싶었는지도 알아두는 것이 유용합니다.

  • 네, 참여합니다! 금요일에 만나요! :rocket:
  • 아쉽게도 참석할 수 없습니다! :sob:

수정: 이제 이해했습니다. 집계 결과를 보여주는 것이 유용하겠네요.

다시 수정: 단일 투표 옵션은 결과값이 하나뿐이므로 자동화가 더 쉬울 것 같습니다.

투표에서 옵션을 1개만 허용하는 것은 간단합니다. 다만, 투표 취소 버튼을 추가해야 합니다.

일반적으로 다른 투표에서는 옵션이 답변의 스펙트럼을 포괄하므로 문제가 되지 않습니다. 하지만 옵션이 하나만 있는 경우, 현재로서는 투표를 취소할 수 없습니다.

내 투표 취소 버튼을 모든 투표에 표시해야 할까요?

아니요, 지금은 그냥 무시하세요. 단일 선택 투표로 설정하면 투표 취소를 할 수 없습니다. 그냥 그런 겁니다.

방금 단일 옵션 투표가 가능하도록 하는 PR을 병합했습니다 :tada:
