How do I randomly select questions to appear in a block and have them auto advance?

I have a survey with several blocks of questions. One block has 20 questions and we want to only display 5 that are randomly selected so each participant sees different questions. We also want to auto-advance those 5 randomly selected questions so participants only have a short period of time to answer them (so they can’t look up the answer). This will mean each question will have to be on a new page. We have mostly figured out how to do one or the other, but are having difficulty doing randomly selecting a subset of questions and having them auto-advance. Any guidance is greatly appreciated! Thank you!

This is possible to do without using any JS and can be done with the help of Qualtrics inbuilt functionalities.

Step 1: Move all of your questions to different blocks and add an auto advance question to each block. Please refer to this page for more information.https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/editing-questions/question-types-guide/advanced/timing/

Step 2: Use a randomizer in the survey flow to randomly select 5 blocks. Please refer to this page for more information. https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/survey-flow/standard-elements/randomizer/

Hope this helps!!!
