Limit number of selectable options in component-select-box

Question

Hi Is there a way I can limit the number of options that a user can select from component select box? To be more specific, I'm trying to limit the number of options a user can select from "SELECT MULTIPLE VALUES" dropdown to 3. Also, how can I add a search filter to this? http://themes.semicolonweb.com/html/canvas/component select box.html Thanks!

Hello,

Thanks for your Patience!

You can simply add the maximumSelectionLength: 3 Setting in the JS Initialization Code for the Select2 Plugin at the bottom of the Page. Example:

$(".select-1").select2({
	placeholder: "Select Multiple Values",
	maximumSelectionLength: 3
});

This will definitely work fine. Hope this Helps!

Hello... By far this is the most beautiful web template I came across especially with tons of code that can be used right out of the box. The support also has been great so far but not sure why it seems to be slipping through the cracks now. I'm pretty sure there is an explanation.

Really appreciate if you can address my question and help me out with this.

Thank you very much!!!
