How to create exceptions with randomised lists


Hi all, 

Does anyone know if it’s possible with a multiple choice, randomised question to: 

  • Lock two statements together (i.e. so that they’re randomised as a pair), because they’re part of the same category and to split would cause confusion. 
  • Anchor statements to the bottom of a randomised list. E.g. in many cases I want an “Other” AND a “None of the above” option, and I want them both at the bottom. 

Thanks!

Hi @awickstead Welcome to the community! Sounds like quite the form. We don’t have these options available directly, but @picsoung are there any tech-y workarounds that you can think of? (I can’t, but I could be forgetting something!)

@picsoung or @mathio you don’t happen to know of any workarounds by chance?

Hey @awickstead 
I am not sure I quite get your question, would you mind giving more examples?

Hi! We have this same question. There’s a list of 7 options we’d like to randomise and anchor an 8th option of “I don’t know” at the bottom. Are there any tips or workarounds on how to do this?

Hi @Feedback Labs I don’t believe we have any workarounds that I can think of, except possibly using the APIs. @mathio can confirm!

Hi all 👋

I dont think Typeform supports this. If you were to reorder the options (via API or manually) I think you might mess up your results.
