Hello world,

I try to select randomly 5 out of 10 question groups. I have already found this solution here manual.limesurvey.org/Workarounds:_Surve...of_Y_question_groups

but I don't get along with this. Could you please help me by giving me more detailed information how to implement this in my survey? I use Limesurvey version 2.05 and I absolutely don't know how to use JavaScript. Maybe it is possible to send me some photos where exactly I have to fill in the codes and the other tools?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Well, the idea of this workaround is:

You have e.g. 6 groups of questions (group in the meaning of LimeSurvey)
you want to show only two of them selected randomly.

Therefore you create a question of type "multiple" (with questioncode "M1") at the start with (in our example) 6 subquestions.

Now the script:
This is inserted in the question code (in source code mode)
This script checks two subquestions at random, or whatever number you enter in "showNumberOfGroups".

In the relevance equation of your groups you enter:
1st group: M1_SQ001=="Y"
2nd group: M1_SQ002=="Y"
3rd group: M1_SQ003=="Y"
...


Okay, this is the idea of this workaround, I did not test it, because I do not have such an old version.

where exactly I have to fill in the codes

I did fill in what you wrote to me, thanks for your explanations! However the random function doesn't work.

Do I have to leave out this "<script>" at the beginning and at the end of the code?

Do I have to fill in sth in the answer options?

You better export your Survey as LSS and attach it here. That way Joffm might be able to spot the issue in your survey.

Hi,
here a sample.
Created in 2.06.

Do I have to leave out this "<script>" at the beginning and at the end of the code?

Please refer to the link I provided?

More simple with gitlab.com/SondagesPro/addScriptToQuestion and stable too (admin user can, update, user with xss can not update, but this not destroy value when saving )

Thanks for your file! Do I get it right that I have to fill in this code in every question group at the beginning in a question (and then my normal questions will follow)? Or is it enough to create only one multiple question with this code?

Maybe a solution like this to randomly display n out of x groups - www.limesurvey.org/forum/can-i-do-this-w...estion-groups#145950

Thanks for your solution! I used the information in your link and 5 out of 10 question groups are shown. However my randomization doesn't work. I wrote down randgroup1, randgroup2... but do I have to change another thing or button anywhere?

All groups that you want randomized together should have the same randomization name.

Ok I changed it and understand what you mean. But now always the question after the equtionquestion is hidden. Maybe there is a problem because I set some conditions to other question groups. Could you please have a look at this extract?

I'm sorry, I cannot test on such an old version. As Denis says, there may be bugs in that version.
