Repeated block randomisation

I have the above survey design. Ideally I would like each of the four questions (believe, clear, real, relate) within each block to be randomly presented to participants, with the order of randomisation presented in the first block to be consistent across all subsequent blocks.

Other than creating 160ish separate blocks with embedded data and branching logic is there any other way to accomplish this?

If you can move the four questions into a matrix table, things could be done.

  1. Have a hidden question with all the four choices somewhere at the begining of the survey. Randomize the order of the choices
  2. In the subsequent questions, just carry forward the choices from this question. They will maintain their randomized order.

The only issue with this method is the four questions have different response options. The likert category will let me carry both the questions and response options but will not let me alter response options for each question.
The profile option allows me to alter the individual response options but will not randomise the response options with the questions.

The hidden question is a really good idea though!
Apologies for the stupid question, how do you have a hidden response?
