Limit number of questions in survey - by: Breut

Hi,

@Tony, the reason why I need to use question by question mode is because I need total randomisation of the questions. In another thread I posted the issue of totally randomizing between groups but as this wasn't answered I needed to revert to using the question by question mode.

This being said, I found an almost working solution using the Expression Manager but it's not that elegant so comments and improvements welcome.

Assume I want 10 questions of N to be displayed

• I defined a hidden question before all regular questions with code numQuestions and numerical value = 0
• I then added 1 to that numerical value each time a question is shown
• I then added the relevance equation numQuestions<=10

This way of working does the trick, however:

• In each "regular" question I now have a numerical value showing up as adding 1 to the numQuestions variable shows that new value. Question is can I hide this value?
• When the relevance equation is false (so numQuestions is > 10) an "empty" question is shown while taking the survey that needs a click on the "next" button in order to move on. This is really awkward. Why is this question shown as the relevance equation is false? How can I get rid of it?

Thanks for advising on whether this is a good way to go about this and how to solve these issues.

PS: To be even more specific, there are multiple numQuestions variables running through each other as they mimick the 'groups' I mentioned before (so numQuestionsG1, numQuestionsG2, etc). Again, this works fine but shows an "empty" question per group the moment the relevance equation goes over the threshold of 10 shown questions.
