Specialized description using piped (randomized) choices from previous block

Question

Hi,

I needed to create a survey that does the following:

1) People are provided with a list of 20 adjectives and they choose five that describe their parent.

2) In a future block, I would like the five adjectives they picked to be (randomly) inserted into a text passage describing a potential new friend.

In a way, this resembles a mad lib, but instead of users generating content (https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/1984/mad-lib-fun), I want them to choose from a finite list of words and then have those words randomly inserted into a future text passage (and not the choices they didn't choose!).

Any help would be greatly appreciated! I couldn't figure it out from the typical piped text/display options!

Hello @Chopik ,Assuming, you have multiple choice question with choice greater than "5" and validation type "at least" selected with at least = 5Step 1: Create 5 embedded data as A0, A1,....A4  before multi  choice question in survey flow to capture random adjectives form multiple select question.Step 2: Paste below code in the js(OnReady) of the multi choice question    function shuffle(array) {      var currentIndex = array.length, temporaryValue, randomIndex;          // While there remain elements to shuffle...      while (0 !== currentIndex) {            // Pick a remaining element...        randomIndex = Math.floor(Math.random() * currentIndex);        currentIndex -= 1;            // And swap it with the current element.        temporaryValue = array[currentIndex];        array[currentIndex] = array[randomIndex];        array[randomIndex] = temporaryValue;      }          return array;    }var that=this.questionId;jQuery('#'+this.questionId+' input[type=checkbox]').change(function() {                var s=[];                jQuery('#'+that+' input[type="checkbox"]:checked').each(function(index){                s.push(jQuery(this).parent().find("label.MultipleAnswer").text());                  });if(s.length>=5){s=shuffle(s);for(i=0;i<s.length;i++){Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData( 'A'+i, s[i] );}}            }); Step 3: Pipe in the 5 embedded in the text question
