Welcome to the ODK forum, @pirakiza! We're glad you're here. When you get a chance, please [introduce yourself on this forum thread](https://forum.getodk.org/t/-/6671). I'd also encourage you to add a picture as your avatar because it helps build community!

Do you want you answer to be limited to 1,2,3,4, or 5? You can use the following:

```plaintext
+---------+------+----------------+-------------+----------------------------+
| type | name | label | constraint | constraint_message |
+---------+------+----------------+-------------+----------------------------+
| integer | q1 | Input a number | .>0 and .<6 | number must be >=1 and <=5 |
+---------+------+----------------+-------------+----------------------------+

```
