<select data-placeholder="Choose..." class="chosen-select" multiple="" name="milestone">
  <option value=""></option>
  <option value="1">1</option>
  <option value="2">2</option>
  <option value="3">3</option>
  <option value="4">4</option>
  <option value="5">5</option>
</select>

Solution

  • Just remove the multiple attribute on select tag. here is an example:

    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/jquery/3.3.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/chosen/1.8.7/chosen.min.css" integrity="sha512-yVvxUQV0QESBt1SyZbNJMAwyKvFTLMyXSyBHDO4BG5t7k/Lw34tyqlSDlKIrIENIzCl+RVUNjmCPG+V/GMesRw==" crossorigin="anonymous" />

<form id="myForm">
<select data-placeholder="Choose..." multiple class="chosen-select" name="milestone">
  <option value=""></option>
  <option value="1">1</option>
  <option value="2">2</option>
  <option value="3">3</option>
  <option value="4">4</option>
  <option value="5">5</option>
</select>
<input type="submit" value="submit"/>
</form>

<script>
 let choosen = $(".chosen-select").chosen({width: "200px"});
 
 $('#myForm').on('submit', function(e){
  e.preventDefault();
  const form = e.target;
  const milestones = $(form.elements.milestone).val();
  if(milestones.length > 1) alert('error');
  else alert('success')
 })
</script>
