Limit choice field selections in Cognito Forms

Question

How do I limit the amount of times a specific Choice from a dropdown can be chosen in Cognito Forms?

You can limit selections in Cognito Forms by assigning quantity limits to your choice fields. Simply do the following:

1. Select Limit Quantities under Choice Options
2. Enter quantities for each choice, or leave blank for unlimited
3. Enter the Quantity Exceeded Error Message to something like Out of stock!
