Hi! Does the current LimeSurvey 3+ Expression Manager have a variable for the current page or step?

For example, assume I have 10 question groups. All groups are in the same randomization group. I only want to show 5 random groups and hide the remaining 5. Now, if EM has a variable for the current page (e.g., "CURRENT_PAGE"), then I could simply use relevance equation "CURRENT_PAGE<6" and that's it.

As all hidden/skipped pages are at the end, the problem is solvable simply by knowing the current page number.

If this is not (yet) possible, could you help me doing it using JavaScript? On the basis of my previous problem , I assume the code should be something like this:
I'm grateful for any input on this. Thanks.

Hi,
please read this:

You can use "gseq".

A other option is to use "qCode.relevanceStatus".

Hi,
and to add a straightforward solution:
In your scenario of 5 groups out of 10 there are 10 over 5 = 252 different ways to display.
1,2,3,4,5
1,2,3,4,6
...
1,2,3,4,10
1,3,4,5,6
1,3,4,5,7
...
1,3,4,5,10
...
1,7,8,9,10
2,3,4,5,6
...
6,7,8,9,10
So create a random number between 1 and 252 and set the relevance like:
Group1: (random==1) OR (random==2) OR (random=) OR ...

Thanks. I added EM command "group1question1.gseq<6", "group2question1.gseq<6",... to group relevance fields of each group and it works.

However, as this approach breaks the progress bar behavior (sudden jump to 100%), I also had to create "text display" questions on top of each group with a description "Page {group1question1.gseq}/10" etc. This serves as a crude substitute for the progress bar.

There are some bugreports and feature requests related to the progress bar

When there are hidden calculation questions (questions that have "Always hide this question" turned on) the progress bar also counts these when indicating the progress.

B.) Calculation routine based on a) Questions shown or b) Question position in the survey

Yes, there was a discussion about the progress bar some time ago.

But imagine:
The respondent answers the first 50% of the questions, and then the rest is skipped because of relevance, conditions, etc. (e.g. only female respondents are asked)

So how do you think the progressbar can look into the future, meaning how to know that you are male?

In some commercial tools you have the option to set the percentage of the progressbar manually, but this will not solve the mentioned problem.
