When I create a multiple choice polls I can can set the minimum and maximum number of choices before Vote is enabled, but this doesn’t seem to work for Ranked Choice voting. If I create a poll with five options: poll type=ranked\_choice results=always min=1 max=3 public=false chartType=bar The max=3 parameter seems to be ineffective; a user can still rank four or all options. The min=1 parameter only works if it’s a 1. If I set it to 2 or more, the poll undoes itself and is just a bullet list. Maybe this is by design or is an issue particular to the way ranked choice works? We have a use case where we want users to rank a minimum number of the poll options, and ranked choice is preferable to multiple choice. --- _[View the full topic](https://meta.discourse.org/t/ranked-choice-poll-doesnt-use-min-max-settings-properly/358372)._
