Quotas using embedded variables

I have a pretty big (for me) quota breakout that I am looking for a simpler solution. So I have embedded variable called "Market" that we populate using a database based on someones zip code. So it will tell us if they are in "Atlanta" or "Washington DC" etc. We use sample vendors to collect data and there are 4 of them in this study, each with their own redirect. So each sample vendor will be collecting 1/4 of each "Markets" overall quota. i.e. Atlanta - quota 400 Vendor 1 - 100 Vendor 2 - 100 Vendor 3 - 100 Vendor 4 - 100 So there are 40 markets with 4 vendors so we are talking about 160 individual quotas to set up. Any suggestions?

I don't think there is a way to automate it. So, the fastest way will be to copy the quotas in such a way that you have to change the minimum amount for each copy (the description and one condition)

Is there a way to do this? Have a hidden single select QUESTION that had a list of all the "Markets". Then write some kind of script that said if "embedded variable=Atlanta" automatically select "Atlanta" in that hidden question? Then I could do the same thing with vendor and then "create multiple quotas" based on those two questions? This is how it was done in my previous survey platform...just a thought!
