Random subset of matrix questions was created by lipflip
Is it (and how) possible to randomly draw a subset of 10 questions from a matrix question with 20 questions for each participant and have only these questions presented/answered?

You can randomize the sub-question order and then use relevanceStatus in the sub-question relevance equations.

- manual.limesurvey.org/Expression_Manager#Access_to_Variables

So if, for example, you have a question code "Q1" and ten sub-questions with codes "SQ001, SQ002..." and you wanted to show 5 random sub-questions, the relevance equations would be as follows.

SQ001:
Code:
sum(Q1_SQ002.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ003.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ004.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ005.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ006.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ007.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ008.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ009.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ010.relevanceStatus) LT 5

SQ002:
Code:
sum(Q1_SQ001.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ003.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ004.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ005.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ006.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ007.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ008.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ009.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ010.relevanceStatus) LT 5

SQ003:
Code:
sum(Q1_SQ001.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ002.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ004.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ005.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ006.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ007.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ008.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ009.relevanceStatus, Q1_SQ010.relevanceStatus) LT 5

Correction, after further testing, it seems that this method does not work within arrays - only the first 5 subquestions are shown.

I wasn't aware that relevanceStatus is working with subquestions at all ;-)
Was that available in old LTS as well? Or introduced later?

I think relevanceStatus is related to EM know value : EM know only subquestion for array (for example : Q01.question didn't work and Q1_SQ1.question show the subquestion of SQ1 in question Q1).

Hi,
in 3.15.5 I get only the last five subquestions. Is there any other possibility to randomly select a subset of subquestions from an array question?

Best, Luis
