    How would I.... ranking items 1-5

    I have the need to create a question that asks the form user to rank the following items 1-5 but only one item can be number 1, etc.

    in a previous - non contour form - i had text fields to just plug in the number and validated that only one of each rank existed.

    would love to migrate this to contour... any thoughts?

    Maybe a custom bit of JS on the page that checks for this? Therefore no changes to your contour form.

    Chris, that is totally an option... so you are thinking using the matrix add-on with the radials and make sure that only one slection per ranking exists???

    Interesting problem. 

    You could make a custom Contour field type to help with the visual piece, and a custom Contour event handler to validate that only one of each rank was selected.  That would give you some assurance in case they had javascript turned off.

    But it would be nice to overlay a javascript piece on to that as well to make the user experience better.
