Restictions in submissions

  • If this has been covered, I did not find it. My apologies.
    I have 4 competition types dig bnw print open.
    4 fields ‘title’-‘file’-‘comp type'(the 4 comptypes) – ‘subm’ ( Reg – makeup.)
    I need to restrict the number of submissions to 3 in total and only one of each.
    That part is easy. limit each type to 1 and allow only 3 entries in the layouts display.
    The problem is with makeups, Same rules.
    So I will have to allow 6 lines of submission.
    Is there a way to restrict my situation?
    What have others done in this case?
    Is there a better approach?

  • What we do is makeup new user with the same add 1 to the name and after the closing we delete the extra name.

    Thanks for the response. What I have done is add the same Comptype with _MU at the end.
    An use the same code, except I added a 1 after the code for those _MU.
    Example ‘Digital’ code DG fot the Digital_MU code DG1.
    The max for each is 1 comptype is 1
    For the sub field the max for reg = 3 and Makeup is 3.

    Now in the PC, The receiving table for the field ‘compttype’ the size is 2.
    So upon import the 1 is striped anyway.
    The reason and need to add 1 is because the restriction count in based on the code not on the label of the choice.
    This may not have been the best way, but is working.
