Hi, friends,

I received an answer, good answer:
https://toolset.com/forums/topic/limit-submissions-per-session-per-user-per-time-period/

Now I would like to change the question.
I have CPT "event" (parent) and CPT "request" (child)
I would like to limit submissions: many users can make ONE request to ONE event.

Can you forward me on the right path?

Thanks to all
Henadz

Small inaccuracy, sorry.
The correct version of the question:

I have CPT "event" (parent) and CPT "request" (child)
I would like to limit submissions: many users can make ONE request to ONE parent (!) event.

Thank you for contacting Toolset Support. I am happy to help you with this.

I just have a few questions for clarification so I can better help you:

"I would like to limit submissions: many users can make ONE request to ONE parent (!) event."

1. Can you elaborate on a scenario where this would be required?

2. Should users be able to submit to ONE request to ONE parent (!) event only once or can it be submitted multiple times?

Thank you for clarifying.

Hi, Tia,

Scenario:
- we have many EVENTS
- we have many users
- one user can make only one REQUEST (form submission - create new REQUEST) for participate in a particular event.

Is this explanation enough?

Thanks for your time

Thank you for the explanation. Let me double check with our team and I will get back with you as soon as possible.

This is going to also fall along the lines of custom coding which is going to go along Beda's last post:

You can also look into using a custom get_posts() function inside of HTML conditional. Also see Beda's post above to count posts to see what the user has already submitted, if any.

Thank you, Tia.
