Is it possible to deactivate/stop randomization in a MCQ after the first loop during Loop & Merge?

You can set a variable once that question is shown and then apply logic as if current loop is the initial value that you set to show only then, instead it won't be shown.

Hi,
That seems like a great idea! Just so I am fully clear - do you mean I should set a variable in JS and then just implement an if-condition or do you mean I should actually apply skip logic from the side menu? I could imagine that it works like with the code below but instead of the hide I need something else like a skip function but I do not know if that exists?
var q = jQuery("#"+this.questionId);

if("${lm://CurrentLoopNumber}" != "1") jQuery("#"+this.questionId).hide();

I also tried another way that I think might work but it doesn't work just yet. First, I created an embedded data element called skipQ, then I inserted the code below into the question and lastly, I implemented a display logic where I say that the question should be skipped if the value of the embedded data field is not equal to 1. However, it doesn't skip it, unfortunately. Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnUnload(function(){

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('skipQ', '2');

});


Thanks so much!

You will need to set a counter variable in onLoad and then onPageSubmit just increment the value to let's say 2 and then display logic should be if my variable is the initial value like 1.
You can set the initial counter in survey flow as well. Just remember to increment the same in onPagesubmit on first occurance and it will follow the same.

Both answers worked! Thank you! In the end, I created embedded data (skip Q = 1), changed the JS code of the following question so that the embedded data is updated to skipQ = 2, and then implemented display logic (display if skipQ is equal to 1).
