==================
Hello!
I have made the pilot survey with my friends and several of them have reported that one or two questions were repeated within a grop of questions. I have ran the previous survey by myself to confirm that, and yes, there are two questions that are repeated. But it seems that every time is a different question repeated, because one of my friends indicate one and I coud confirm another different. I have checked the logical archive of the survey, but it doesn´t appear to have something wrong. The only condition that I have place is randomize the group and randomize the questions within the group. I am adding the file of the group.
Thanks in advance!

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

Please, neither provide lsq nor lsg exports.
Only lss.
Copy the survey, remove everything not related to your problem and send this as lss export.
Joffm
Reason:
lsq and lsg exports are language sensitive.
You can only import them into a survey with the same base language.
So we have to guess the base language of the export, create a survey to be able to import your file.
Furthermore the survey wide settings are missing, which also may be important.
Therefore, please, ease our life.

I have three subsurveys on the same survey, and because of that, two of the question groups are repeated three times. Then, the "Random Presentation Section Name" field are repeated three times, because I simple copy and paste the first pair once I created by first time.
I kept thinking if it coud affect on showing the questions. Because it occurs on those two groups, questions on preview are repeated only from those two groups.
I don't know if I was specific writting what I am thinking could be the reason for the problem.

That was the reason!
Of the three repeated pairs of question groups, I have changed the word on the "Random Presentation Section Name" field just for the first group on the first pair, and now it is working normally. But more, the second group on the first pair continued repeating one or two questions.
Anyway, thanks for helping!!

*Actually it was two pairs of question groups repeated, one for each subsurveys (and for the other has another different question group). But that's why the questions were repeated for two times.

Questions that have the same name for the randomization group, will be randomized among the position of any question within this "randomization group". So if you don't want this, you have to give different names to the different randomization groups.
