Description

Checkbox Limits for Gravity Forms is a free add-on from Stafford Technologies. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Gravity Forms or Rocketgenius, Inc. Gravity Forms (version 2.5 or later) must be installed and active for this plugin to work.

It adds three settings to every checkbox field in the form editor:

Min selections — require at least N checked boxes
Max selections — allow at most N checked boxes (remaining boxes are disabled in the browser once the max is reached)
Selection limit message — optional custom message with {min} and {max} placeholders

Features:

Works with multi-page forms (validates only fields on the current page)
Front-end enforcement re-applies after AJAX page renders (gform_post_render / init scripts)
Server-side validation via gform_validation
Optional global default validation message under Forms Settings Checkbox Limits
No paid add-ons required
Uninstall-safe (uses the Add-On Framework uninstall; stores limits as field properties on the form)

Changelog

1.0.8

Fixed: installation instructions now name the current version.

1.0.7

Support email changed to support@staffordtechnologies.net.

1.0.6

Fix: Min / Max / Message settings stay visible in the Gravity Forms 3.2+ form editor (Orbital).
Register .gfcl_setting with the gform_editor_field_settings filter (Gravity Forms 2.5+) and keep the classic fieldSettings.checkbox path for older editors.
Re-apply registration after the editor finishes loading so newer editors cannot clear it.

1.0.5

WordPress.org review: load form-editor JavaScript via wp_enqueue_script / wp_localize_script instead of an inline
Moved editor field-property handlers out of inline onchange/oninput attributes into the enqueued editor script.
Moved editor help-text margin into an enqueued CSS file (no inline style attribute).
Front-end limit config now uses wp_add_inline_script on the enqueued script (no Gravity Forms init-script print).

1.0.4

Updated Docs, Support, and plugin URI links to the new plugin page.
