Summary14640: Mandatory ranking question with max value forces to rank all options (more than max)
Description

If a value for "Maximum answers" is set for a mandatory ranking questions, participants are still forced to rank all the answer options. (Total answer options > Maximum answers).

Steps To Reproduce
  1. Create a mandatory ranking question with N answer options, and set "Maximum answers" to M, where M < N.

  2. Preview survey and rank M or less answer options. You are not allowed to rank more than M, which is correct

  3. After clicking Next/Submit, a validation error shows saying "One or more mandatory questions have not been answered. You cannot proceed until these have been completed". The ranking question is highlighted and the tip shows " Please rank all items."

Just updated manual (since we have a lot of report about this).

With ranking question type : set mandatory to on mean ranking all answers. You can use minimum answers settings if you need to force one answer to be ranked.
