Creating a Ranking Form Question
Hello All - I have created a survey form that includes a variety of questions. For one of the questions, I would like the user to be able to rank 7 different options from 1-7 Example:
How woul...

Is your plan to allow users to 'repeat' and have lets say 2 items that are 'most' important? My suggestion on how to handle your situation is to just make (7) fields and align them all in a section together on the form so they're grouped, and add some 'text' informing the users of how to fill them out. Each of your fields would correspond to a question and the 'options' in a text-MC would be the same for each as most important to least important.

The plan is not to allow them to repeat a rank...so there will not be two ranks of 1, etc.
My original thought was to do exactly what you have outlined here, because I didn't see any other option than having 7 different questions.
Even with written instructions informing the users, I need a way to prevent them from selecting the same rank for multiple questions.

I might approach it with Mark's suggestion then and flip it to where you have the fields actually represent the rank and then options are the features. So field (1) is 'Most Important' and the options are the features. Field (2) is like 'Important' and its the same 7 features. You could then use formulas/form rules to check if that feature has already been used in the other fields, checking to see if the combination of the other 6 fields already includes the field you're choosing and if so then clear the value and alert the user.
So if you're entering field (2) for example and you check feature X - you could do a formula that combines that input for Fields 1,3,4,5,6,7 and check if the combo of those field already contains the value of field (2) and if so clear it and let them know its already been selected.
