List Dropdown (list fields) on a Contact Form can have one of three input options:
Single Choice
Limited Multiple Choice
Unlimited Multiple Choice
By default, every List Dropdown field is set to Single Choice. This means that only one Answer Choice can be selected for a contact.
When you choose Limited Choice, you can decide how many answer choices can be selected for a contact. For example, if the question is “Pick your 3 favourite colours”, you can restrict the answer choices that can be selected to 3.
When you choose Unlimited Choice, there is no limit to the number of answe answer choices that can be selected
How to change the number of Allowed Answer Choices
The number of Allowed Answer Choices for a List Category field is set on the Edit Contact Form page which where the list exists Dropdown exist on.
This means that if the same List Dropdown Field exists on multiple Contact Forms, it can have a different Allowed Answer Choices setting on each form.
