    Hello,

    The question of @matheg is very interesting. I believe that his question has nothing to do with shuffling the order of the questions. What he meant is a function to store a bank of questions and in one form the jotform quiz to select randomly questions for each user. The same functionality is offered by google sheets with random selection of questions.

    Is jotform thinking to develop something close to this?

    You may use the Shuffle widget to present random questions to each user:

    Let us know if this would work for your requirement.

    Thanks.

    Have you ever tried to define more than 80 exceptions when using the Shuffle widget? :D

    To which exceptions are you referring? Can you please provide more details and a URL of the form you are working on?

    I mean the exclusion of fields...

    Anyway, Number Questions setting doesn't work at all... :(

    You can find one of my tests here: https://eu.jotform.com/build/211111048244339

    To resolve the issue with the Number Questions option, change it to No, then change it back to Yes and update the widget.

    Thank you for your response. The numbers really appeared. :)

    Anyway - the hidden fields are also numbered - so the numbers don't follow a continuous sequence.

    And not all the visible questions are numbered...

    So this setting is for dusting only... :(

    But thanks for your efforts.

    Let me pass this to our backend team.

    We will get back to you once we have news on this.

    Thanks.

    The Shuffle widget will not identify the hidden fields. It will number the fields sequentially on that page. It cannot recognize the hidden fields.

    I had escalated the issue that it could number the Input table.

    Thanks.
