Think a clean plugin system is better here, no ?

Related forum topic: https://www.limesurvey.org/en/forum/can-i-do-this-with-limesurvey/100990-using-quotas-to-prevent-new-entries?limitstart=0

Suggested (and supported by me) implementation: "...having a "Maximum Responses" setting in the Publication & access control tab."

I strongly vote for making this a core feature. Plugins are nice for very special stuff but closing a survey once X completed responses were collected is a common approach at market research surveys.

I'd love to see this feature maybe at LS 3.

It can be done with 2.06 under 150831

See https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/commit/bccdf8e70e6d788bd64dfa803be37c6b78d9c36b#commitcomment-12992234

I Suggest:

#to have it in survey properties --> quotas -->Global quota.
#shipped out of the box.
#It would be extremely helpful if you can implement some function so that we can get quota counts inside survey.

The 'real' featire is just here : https://github.com/LimeSurvey/LimeSurvey/pull/365/files#diff-a9dbc6157f3066d12e04af89a4bca062L5427

Just a comment:

Our team does maybe 100 limesurveys a year. Maybe more. And I do not see this really relevant.

A really easy fix is to implement 07598 and my suggestion to have quotas set by relevance equation (enabling OR operator etc.) Then just set a quota on any question answered by all respondents counting all answers options.

Another point is that its not unusual that you need to have a screening section before a longer "full" interview. You need to have screening interviews all counted (so you need to have them as completed) but you have a target for the "full" interviews. A global quota has no use there.

A simple quota on any question counting all answers (OR operator) will do the trick in any situation as far as I see it.

I don't oppose it, but it seems it could be easily achieved by another fix- also gaining a lot more also in setting quotas.

@t6nnp6nn : implement 07598 need more work on GUI.
quotaCompletedCount is OK for this

Against : reason :

• Aftger testing : set a quota to 0 make the out only when a question is submitted

It must be BEFORE show thge welcome page.

Quota is done for question/answer.
