Summary | 14036: Switching the language for the first time re-randomises the questions | ||||
Description | See the screenshots. Have also attached a survey example. So, the idea is the following one: when I preview the survey for the first time, the questions get re-randomised. Once the re-randomisation was done, I can change the language of the survey how many times I want... it does not get re-randomised again. The original behaviour in the past (at least according to the wiki): The survey was not getting re-randomised when swiching the language for the first time. | ||||

frederik, could you tell us your point of view about this? |
|
Randomization should only be done once. So neither going back and forth, or changing the language, or saving and resuming, or doing whatever should change the original order. Furthermore, it is super important that each variable is randomized independently. So for example if I have three randomizations with two groups (A, B), there has to be a "coin toss" for every randomization (resulting in either A-A-A, A-A-B, A-B-A, B-A-A. A-B-B, B-A-B, B-B-A, or B-B-B ). It would not be good at all if all randomizations would always have the same value (A-A-A or B-B-B only). I know it from other survey software, that randomization for each variable is done and saved in a variable (!) on the start page of a survey. |

thank you. Yes we're already using seed for the randomization, olle implemented it for LS3. @olle: can you tell us if this part of the randomization bug depend on your seed system? |
|
Confirmed, will fix. |
|
What is the status of this bug. Is the seed changing too? For any move into the scientific community, a correct documented display order is crucial. |
|
Status is that I forgot about it. |
|
@cdorin, can't reproduce. Double check? |
|
Hmm, I also cannot reproduce it any longer (3.17.3) |
|
Cannot reproduce anymore. |
