Hi everyone,

I'm struggling with a seemgly very simple task. I have a set of 7 items (nationalities) and I ask participants on a survey page (dropdown question) to indicate their nationality.

<text nationalities>
/ items = nationalities
</text>

<item nationalities>
/ 1="United Kingdom" / 2="Poland" / 3="Portugal" / 4="Italy" / 5="Germany" / 6="Spain" / 7="Sweden"
</item>

<surveypage nationalitypage>
/ questions = [1=nationality_question]
</surveypage>

<dropdown nationality_question>
/ caption = "Nationality"
/ options = ("<%item.nationalities.item(1)%>", "<%item.nationalities.item(2)%>", "<%item.nationalities.item(3)%>", "<%item.nationalities.item(4)%>", "<%item.nationalities.item(5)%>",
"<%item.nationalities.item(6)%>", "<%item.nationalities.item(7)%>")
/ optionvalues = ("1";"2";"3";"4";"5";"6";"7")
/ required = true
/ order = random
</dropdown>

Next, I want to add a second question in which the response of the nationality_question is excluded from the item pool (i.e. only 6 options). Finally, I need to split the initially 7 items up into 3 groups: Group 1 contains the response of the nationality_question, group 2 should be randomly chosen to be one of the items that was not selected in either question, group 3 should be the rest (i.e. 4 items) that was not selected in either question. Group 1 is no issue, but I have trouble with 2 & 3.
<item group1>
/ 1 = "<%dropdown.nationality_question.selectedcaption%>"
</item>

Thank you so much in adavance!

Best wishes,
Dave
