Randomization in a special case was created by matclou
Hello!
I am currently developing in Survey with LimeSurvey 2.71.
The survey works in the group-by-group mode. Currently I am trying to randomize some groups. However it is a special case and I am not sure, whether LimeSurvey allows randomization in this case.
I have a couple of separate questions groups, which are connected by their content and should stay together, but I want to randomize blocks of questions groups. So the situation is as it follows:
QG 1A: Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 ...
QG 1B: Q1
QG 1C: Q1
QG 1D: Q1
QG 2A: Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 ...
QG 2B: Q1
QG 2C: Q1
QG 2D: Q1
[...]
I would like to randomize the question groups, but the interconnected groups should stay together, so that all question groups beginning with "2" may come first, but not just one, followed by a question group beginning with "1". I hope you understand what I mean.
Is there any solution for this in limesurvey?

No, this is not possible out of the box.

Thanks for your answer!
Could there be an unstandarized solution? And where would you have to start from within Limesurvey?
I have some programming experiences but not with adapting a Limesurvey survey, so I just need a headword to proceed

Volunteers are not paid.
Not because they are worthless, but because they are priceless

Unfortunately there is no option to randomize groups withing randomized groups.
As we do not know anything about your survey it is a bit difficult to say.
Are the questions
1A: Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 ...
2A: Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 ...
identical questions and only the topic of the group is different?
In this case you might use "micro-tayloring", meaning you only displöay the randomized topic.
Therefore you should send a prototype of your survey as lss export.
