+1Community,
I am trying to create a list experiment that looks like the following:
“Report how many of the items are true for you:
How many items are true for you?”
The answer provided would be in a text box. I want to randomize the order of the items in the list without manually creating different questions. Is there a way to do this?

Add a multiple choice question where the list items are the choices before your text entry question (on the same page). Randomize the choices and add this JS:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {
var q = jQuery(this.questionContainer);
q.find(".QuestionBody").hide();
q.find(".QuestionText").css("padding-bottom","0px");
var list = q.find("ul.list").css("margin-bottom","0px");
q.find("label.SingleAnswer>span").each(function() { list.append("<li>"+this.innerHTML+"</li>"); });
});Add this HTML to the bottom of the question text:
<ul class="list"></ul>
+1From what I am seeing, choice randomization is only available when the list items are choices. Because I want my response to be a text box, the choice randomization is not popping up for selection at all.
Q1. Report how many of the items are true for you (Multiple select):
Q2. How many items are true for you?
Open entry text box (it will consist of the selected choices from Q1 and it should be in a random order)
Is my understanding correct? If yes, then can you explain how did you bring the selected choices in an entry text box and will the respondent select the choices from an entry text box?
+1It would be all in one question. The list items are not multiple choice, just text.
Q1. Report how many of the items are true for you. Don’t report which items, just HOW MANY:”
How many items are true for you? (1-4)
Open entry text box (where respondents can enter the digits 1-4)
This will require a bit of manual work as well as this solution is without Javascript.
STEP 1:
STEP 2: Create as many as different combinations possible by just changing the order of the values. Please refer below images.
STEP 3: Insert all these 4 groups inside a randomizer and keep its value as 1 and tick off the ‘evenly present elements’ box for fair randomization. This will ensure that it chooses one combination (group) at a time to a respondent. There will be 4 random combinations, you can create as many as you like.
STEP 4: Pipe text all the 4 embedded data in your question text in a list format (as you require).
Your use case could be possible by JS as well but if you want to do it without JS you can try this method.
+1I want to do all possible combinations, which is a lot since I have multiple questions like this and some with more than 4 items.

You can use Look & Feel to decrease the space between questions (see this post).

+27Can you post a public block preview link of your question?

It is only displaying the second question.

It is only displaying the second question.
You added the <ul> html to the wrong question. It should be added the multiple choice question text, not the text entry question text.
