Multiple validation conditions

Users
1

I would like to add several validation constraints on a a multiple
choice-multiple select question. Firstly, there should be no more than two
responses. Secondly, if 'none' is selected, there shouldn't be any other
responses. These each work separately, but I haven't been able to put them
together.

1: count-selected(.) < 3
2: not(selected(., 'none' and count-selected(.) > 1))

So far I've tried the following, with no luck:
count-selected(.) < 3 and (not(selected(., 'none' and count-selected(.) >
1)))
count-selected(.) < 3 or not(selected(., 'none' and count-selected(.) > 1))

Any advice?

Thanks!

Hi Eric,

Your first tried one looks close though I think you're missing a bracket
after the selected() function (surprised this wouldn't give an error when
you tried to build). I'd try:

count-selected(.) < 3 and not(selected(., 'none') and count-selected(.) > 1)

could also rephrase as an if which might be more legible/explicit:

if(selected(., 'none'), count-selected(.) < 1, count-selected(.) < 3))

Best,
Will

Thanks, Will! I tried the second one and it worked perfectly.
