Hello, I am using a Dashboard form node with 4 elements that I pass into an SQL statement through a function node. All is working fine but, i would like to only allow the user to input data into a single field for each search request. For example, if more than one field is filled out, throw an err…

You can use the Notification node to popup a message to tell the user of his error. Alternatively you could disable other fields once one has been filled in, though I am not sure if you can do that in a form, so it might be necessary to use individual fields in that case.

Yeah ok, i was thinking of counting the number of payloads with a length >0 and if the count was >1, throw a notification to the dash. Not sure if that could work or not.

Yes - I would build a form using separate elements instead - then you can use msg.enabled=false to disable the others as required.
