Hi,
Is it possible to build a poll which doesn’t list options by default as it could be a very long list and only lets users to search and select options? Something like a combobox where I can also limit the min/max number of selections.
AI-generated summary
The discussion is about creating a poll with a combobox that allows users to search and select options without displaying a long list. armingrudd wants to limit the number of selections and use a combobox to avoid a lengthy list of options. jericson suggests using the multiple choice poll with a limit of up to 100 options, but armingrudd prefers a combobox that displays options based on the entered value and allows multiple selections, similar to the tagging users feature. The goal is to provide a more user-friendly experience when dealing with a large number of options.
You can use the multiple choice poll to let people choose among 20 options. That limit can be increase with the poll maximum options setting. You can set the minimum and maximum choices too:
It seems the max for poll maximum options is 100. Is that not enough for your needs?
Are you interested in a combobox to avoid a list of 100 options filing up screen after screen? Or is there some other reason for it?

Hi @jericson and thank you for your reply,
Yes, I don’t want the (long) list to be displayed and only a combobox which displays options based on entered value [1] and allows multiple selection. Even with +20 options, I believe it’s not nice to have all options displayed and expect the user to search for the opiton they want to select. And in our case, the options are much more.
[1]: The behaviour could be like tagging users where there are suggestions as you type and then you select one. Here, in the combobox the suggestons are based on the provided opitons and there could be multiple selection based on the min/max settings.
