Limit Checkboxes
Limit how many checkboxes users can select in any Gravity Forms Checkbox field, with minimum and maximum controls.
What it does
When you use a Checkbox field in Gravity Forms, there's no built-in way to cap how many options a user can pick or require them to pick a certain number. Limit Checkboxes fills that gap by letting you set a minimum, a maximum, or both on any Checkbox field.
Once a user hits the maximum, the remaining options grey out automatically. If they uncheck a selection, the others become available again. If they submit the form without meeting the minimum, the form blocks submission and tells them how many more they need to choose.
You can also spread one shared limit across several Checkbox fields, as well as Multiple Choice and Image Choice fields, so selections from all of them count toward the same total. It's useful for surveys, event sign-ups, booking slots, and similar situations where you need to control exactly how many items someone picks.

Can I set both a minimum and a maximum on the same field?
Yes, you can use either limit on its own or combine both on the same Checkbox field.
What happens when a user reaches the maximum?
The remaining unchecked options become unavailable. If the user unchecks a selection, those options become available again.
Can I apply one limit across more than one field?
Yes, you can choose multiple Checkbox fields to share a single limit, so all selections across those fields count toward the same total.
Does it work with fields other than Checkboxes?
Yes, it also works with Multiple Choice and Image Choice fields.
