Can I limit the selection of a drop down list to one of each item per user?

Deleted user June 19, 2015

Each department prioritizes their Top 10 issues each week.  We use a custom field with a 1-10 drop down list.  I would like to limit each user to one of each selections at a time, so someone doesn't put in ten #1 priority issues.  Is this possible?

Each department (represented by 1 user each) selects their top 10 items for the upcoming week.  Right now, I have no way to keep them from choosing ten #1 priority items.  I want to limit each user to only be able to select 1 of each value on the dropdown list.

Here is What I get now from one user:

4 - #1 priority items

2 - #2 priority items

3 - #3 priority items

1 - #4 priority items

 

Here is what I want to get:

1- #1 priority item

1 - #2 priority item

1 - #3 priority item

1 - #4 priority item

1 - #5 priority item

1 - #6 priority item

1 - #7 priority item

1 - #8 priority item

1 - #9 priority item

1 - #10 priority item

 

Can I limit each user to only using one item off of the list at a time?

I would work on it via workflow conditions. And perhaps several fields. Otherwise, you should try using calculated fields from the JIRA Miscellaneous Custom Field (I think) add on.

The question is confusing. Are you asking to limit each user to select 1 option from a multi-select field or have a different list for each department?
