Limiting the Number of Specific Items in the Inventory?,Limit Number of One Type of Item in Inventory?

I am using drop tables to award a random item to a player at the end of the game. However, I don't want players to be able to get an item in the drop table if they already have N of that item already. (Basically, I want to set a limit on the number of a specific item that a player can own at one time.) How can I achieve this?

I am using drop tables to award random items to players at the end of a game. Some of the items that I am giving out I would only like a player to have a specific number of. (Basically, I don't want players to get a certain item in the drop table if they already have N of that item.) How can I achieve this?

Check out

https://api.playfab.com/docs/tutorials/landing-commerce/droptable

Using Option 1 and

https://api.playfab.com/documentation/server/method/GetRandomResultTables

you can have PlayFab return a valid result but not actually award it to the player. You have to do that yourself. You would then in a CloudScript or your own server function do the logic to check on the item balance you have defined and either reward the item or request a new item from PlayFab.
