Hi, I have 20 blocks in the survey with each containing some text. The idea is to randomly select 2 out of these 20 blocks and show to the person. The person is later asked a question about these two two blocks and has to choose one of them. Is it possible to somehow connect the answer (i.e., "The second text was more interesting") to the actual block that this text was shown, as it is a crucial part of this design? Thanks.

If you need it within the survey, you would probably use Embedded Data. Set an unique Embedded Data field within each of the randomized blocks and then you can access that later with piped text. If you are looking to access it after the fact, you can export your randomized viewing order when exporting your results. That will give you a column showing in what order the questions were viewed, from which you can derive the block order. https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/block-options/question-randomization/Of course, you can also access the ED from your data as well. It might be as simple as logic that looks like this: !

Thanks, that looks like something I need! However, I can't really figure out how to set a unique id for each block. And should you do it _before_ the randomization? Since judging from your screenshot, the randomization block already includes FirstBlockSeen variables, while it seems that Block1/2/3 variables were created beforehand, right?
