Indeed! thanks for reporting it, I’ve opened a PR that will make min/max work and validates the submission:

> <https://github.com/discourse/discourse-surveys/pull/99>
>
> Reported here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/survey-plugin-min-max-not-implemente…d-nor-validated/404023
> 
> The \`min\` and \`max\` values were documented, but never used. Number fields always rendered a 1 - 10 scale, and because submitted values weren't checked server-side, a custom request could store any value.
> 
> This wires up the min & max values, includes a migration to add the new min/max columns, and adds new specs to validate. 
> 
> Existing surveys are unaffected.
