Dear Dave, 

thank you very much for your quick and detailed reply!

Kind regards,
Djo

In <block solutionRatingsIntro>, change

<block solutionRatingsIntro>
/ skip = [
    values.responseRating == false;
]
/ onblockbegin = [
    values.countTargets += 1;
    if (values.countTargets == 1) {
        values.target = values.target1;
        values.solutions = values.solutions1;
        values.countSolutions = values.countSolutions1;
    } else if (values.countTargets == 2) {
        values.target = values.target2;
        values.solutions = values.solutions2;
        values.countSolutions = values.countSolutions2;
    } else if (values.countTargets == 3) {
        values.target = values.target3;
        values.solutions = values.solutions3;
        values.countSolutions = values.countSolutions3
    } else {
        values.solutions = "Ich benötige hier mehr Informationen"
    };
    values.validRatings = "";
    values.selectInstructions = 4;
    
]
/ trials = [1 = instructions]
/ branch = [
    block.solutionRatings;
]
</block>

to

<block solutionRatingsIntro>
/ skip = [
  values.responseRating == false;
]
/ onblockbegin = [
  values.countTargets += 1;
  if (values.countTargets == 1) {
   values.target = values.target1;
   values.solutions = values.solutions1;
   values.countSolutions = values.countSolutions1;
  } else if (values.countTargets == 2) {
   values.target = values.target2;
   values.solutions = values.solutions2;
   values.countSolutions = values.countSolutions2;
  } else if (values.countTargets == 3) {
   values.target = values.target3;
   values.solutions = values.solutions3;
   values.countSolutions = values.countSolutions3
  } else {
   values.solutions = "Ich benötige hier mehr Informationen"
  };
  values.validRatings = -1;
  values.selectInstructions = 4;
 
]
/ trials = [1 = instructions]
/ branch = [
  block.solutionRatings;

</block>

Problem 2 comes down to nesting of conditionals, which Inquisit 4 does not support. Changing the logic in <block solutionRatings> to

<block solutionRatings>
/ trials = [1 = solutionRating]
/ onblockend = [
    if (values.countTargets == 1 && item.solution1.itemcount == 1) {    
            values.best1_target1 = item.solution1.item(1);
        } else if (values.countTargets == 1 && item.solution1.itemcount > 1){
            values.best1_target1 = item.solution1.item(textbox.bestSolution1.response);
            values.best2_target1 = item.solution1.item(textbox.bestSolution2.response);            
        };
    if (values.countTargets == 2 && item.solution2.itemcount == 1) {    
            values.best1_target2 = item.solution2.item(1);
        } else if (values.countTargets == 2 &&item.solution2.itemcount > 1){
            values.best1_target2 = item.solution2.item(textbox.bestSolution1.response);
            values.best2_target2 = item.solution2.item(textbox.bestSolution2.response);            
        };
    if (values.countTargets == 3 && item.solution3.itemcount == 1) {    
            values.best1_target3 = item.solution3.item(1);
        } else if (values.countTargets == 3 && item.solution3.itemcount > 1){
            values.best1_target3 = item.solution3.item(textbox.bestSolution1.response);
            values.best2_target3 = item.solution3.item(textbox.bestSolution2.response);            
        };
]
/ branch = [
    if (values.countTargets < item.targets.itemcount) {
        block.solutionRatingsIntro;
    }
]
</block>

might do the trick.
