Hi all,
I have created a survey which uses Randomizer (in Survey Flow) to present question blocks in a random order. I want to add incrementing question numbers to the title of the question blocks that are randomly displayed (e.g., "Question 1 of 10") so participants can see their progress. I tried searching for previous answers, and can see there is this answer:

Thanks for your help,
Sam

You increment the counter in survey flow:
Randomizer
Group A
Embedded Data: counter = $e{ e://Field/counter + 1 }
Block A
Group B
...etc...
Pipe counter into first question is each block as ${e://Field/counter}

Thanks TomG ! That was exactly what I was looking for.
Here's a screenshot of what the survey flow would look like in case anyone else gets confused:
