Having Survey123 Randomly Select Questions from a Pool

Question

Hey All,

Need some help seeing if something like this is possible on Survey123. Looking to see if I could see 3 random questions from a pool of 15 questions each time I open up survey123.

So if anyone has any ideas or suggestions it would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

One more suggestion in the attached Random12.xlsx

The random function in XLSForm generates random numbers. For example: int(12*random())+1 will generate a number between 1 and 12 (included). You can then use that number to show/hide questions.

With the logic in the attached XLSForm, there is a small chance you could potentially get fewer than 3 questions if random picks the same number twice. I added a simple check, but it is not bullet proof.
