How to randomly select two selected answers from Pick, Group and Rank

get them in the next question and then use subset feature of the randomization in single punch question. Then pipe them to whichever question you need to.

What I ended up doing is grabbing the answer codes (choiceid) from the DOM, randomizing and selecting two. Then storing in embedded data.
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnUnload(function()
{
/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is unloaded*/
var $this = jQuery(this.questionContainer);
var arr=[];
var $groupUl;
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("Q28_Selected_Unlikely_Codes", "");
jQuery(".QuestionBody .groupsContainerTd .Group", $this).each(function (i) {
$groupUl = jQuery(this).find("ul.ui-sortable");
jQuery("li", $groupUl).each(function (i) {
var groupText=jQuery(this).closest(":has(h2)").find("h2").text().toUpperCase();
if(groupText.indexOf("UNLIKELY") >= 0 && groupText.indexOf("NOR") == -1) {
arr.push(jQuery(this).data("choiceid"));
}
});
});
const shuffled = [...arr].sort(() => 0.5 - Math.random());
selected=shuffled.slice(0, 2);
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("Q28_Selected_Unlikely_Codes", selected.join());
});

Then creating a multiple response question and setting the answers and auto submit so I can then use piped text.
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()
{
/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is fully displayed*/
var val=Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData("Q28_Selected_Unlikely_Codes").split(",");
for (var i = 0; i < val.length; i++) {
this.setChoiceValueByRecodeValue(val[i],true);
}
this.clickNextButton();
});

Don't know if this was the best method, but it's working.

Kudos! We could have used qualtrics to pick by default using randomization but this is fine as long as it works!
