Randomizing the text of a question

[vlad_proex]

Is this possible? I need to randomize not only the order of choices, but also the text of the questions. Some questions are made of four sentences A, B, C and D. I need them displayed in random order. I thought of using a calculate field with a random number. But there are 24 combinations for 4 sentences and I cannot possibly make that many fields.

Hi
I believe for the choices randomizations you must have looked at the following

Randomize list of select_one and select_multiple questions

Not cleanly, but there are ways you can ‘fake’ it… For example, duplicate all the questions in various different random orders in several groups, and then use a random() function to pick which group to display using the group’s relevance. Its not truly ‘random’ - with 10 questions there 10! = 3628800 different permutations - but if you, say, hardcode 10 groups with a different permutation it may appear sufficiently random for your purposes. [or you can hardcode 3.5 million groups for a better r…

However when it comes to question randomization, I believe you meant that you have 4 questions (Q1 Q2 Q3 and Q4) and you would like their order randomized as much as possible. If that is the case then I suggest you follow a discussion that has been going on since 2014 here since this is not currently supported on the system.
