Hi all, Hope someone will be able to help or point me in the right direction? I have 2 fields on my form Location and Time - Both are separate drop down fields. Am getting users to select these fields and displaying them with views.   Is there a way to restrict the number of submissions per user? example: Location A + 8:30am (only 3 users can select Location A and the 8:30am timeslot) After 3 users have selected the same combination, it should no longer be available or greyed out. Hope this makes sense?   Thanks very much in advance.

Hi Bobby,
Thanks very much for taking the time to reply mate. much appreciated.

It's a little more complicated than that.
on the website we have 2 roles - operators and users

Operators they can book a location and time slot.
Then users can dynamically search the timeslot booked by the operators.

However to avoid congestion per location and timeslot = would be best to limit the number of operators that can be at that location at that time 🙂

hope this makes sense.

In that regard it's going to require some code. Here is the example you would need to work with:
