How can I prioritize a group of choices and then randomly select remaining choices? | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hello Prof. Qualtrics,
I am asking the respondent to choose the brands that they have heard of. Then in the follow-up question, I would like to select only 4 brands, but prioritize some brands.
For example, the respondent heard of A, C, D, E & F. In the follow-up question, the survey will firstly pick A & C, and then randomly select 2 more brands (D, E or F) for the respondent to answer. Can I complete this setting without applying JS? Thanks so much!!!
Priority Brand List

  • Brand A

  • Brand B

  • Brand C

Non-priority Brand List
  • Brand D

  • Brand E

  • Brand F


This should be easily possible using randomization.
If you a different question for each brand, then go the block options and select "Question Randomization". If they're all in one question, then go to the question options and select randomization.
In either case, set up advanced randomization.

All brands (priority & non-priority) are in one question. But it seems that randomization doesn't work.
As I want to select max. 4 brands (pick those priority brands first, and then select non-priority brands) in the follow-up question. Any thought?
Thanks!
