They provided examples of how to correctly set up the poll, including using a step value that is reasonable for the range of choices. With this help, justanotherperson was able to get the poll working correctly and thanked awesomerobot for their assistance.

This may sound embarrassing, but how do you use a numeric/average poll? It just keeps doing this and I don’t know why.

We could probably clarify the text to make this a little clearer…

What you have in your screenshot is:

  • A range of choices from 1 (min) - 1 (max) (so only 1 total)
  • Each choice should increase by 11 (step)

But you can’t have 11 step with 1 choice, because it would start from 1 and has nothing to increase by 11 because there’s only 1 choice.

Some more examples to demonstrate how these options work:

Starts at 1 (min) and will increase every option by 2 (step) up to 30 (max)

Hope that helps!

Yay, it works! Thank you!
