[FEATURE REQUEST] Limit number of checkboxes checked

It would be great if you could implement a max limit on checkboxes. Like for us, we use this for voting and people can vote up to, let say, for up to 3 people, out of 10 nominees. Right now, I have to scare them by saying their vote will be rejected if they vote for more than 3 nominees.

I'd really like this as well. I briefly looked at the possibility of doing this with a custom javascript, but that doesn't seem to be possible, since limiting the number of boxes checked through javascript requires that all of the check boxes in the set to be limited must be in the same check box group. To the best of my ability to determine, check boxes implemented by Machform have each check box in its own check box group and we have no control over this.
In general, I'd like to see the logic capabilities of Machform vastly extended beyond hiding and showing fields and pages. One obvious additional logic capability to add is making one field required or not, based on the input to another field. This can be done now by hiding a required field and showing it based on the input to another field, but sometimes this results in a confusing form.
Logic to compare fields with each other or with a constant we choose is something that I really want to see. If we had this, we could put two email fields in our form and check them against each other to make sure that were the same. It would be very important to me to have the ability to add customized error messages to be shown if the fields didn't match, and that those error messages should be shown next to the appropriate fields, not at the top (or bottom) of the form. We could also check date fields to make sure that the end date for a span of time actually came after the start date that had already been selected, as another example. I'm sure almost everyone would find a use for this type of capabilty.

The latter, two calendars of which the date of the second calendar cannot be selected prior to the first calendar, has already been built for me by Yuniar; possibly it will be launched in one of the updates.

The "Choices Limit" option for the Checkboxes field shown in Yuniar's post above (click on the link below to go directly to it) doesn't seem to be included in Machform 4.4. Is it missing or is it there I am I just not seeing it for some reason? I have already cleared the browser cache and I see all the other new features that I have looked for already.

You'll need to turn on the "Required" property first.
