You can choose to accept multiple answers with a Dropdown question, but you can't specify an exact number (like "at least 3 selected," "exactly 4," or "between 2 and 5"). If you would like to set a specific minimum and/or maximum number of answers, try using a Multiple Choice field instead.

Field configuration

  1. Click the desired dropdown field in the editor to open the configuration panel.
  2. Toggle on "Can choose more than one answer."
