Alternative Randomisation

Ticket name: Alternative Randomisation
Steps to Reproduce the Problem: I want to randomise the alternatives for an experiment once per respondent. I use the fixed order method from the tutorial. I create a derived box named: fixed_order with value “3,2,1”. Then I paste the following script
$fixed_order

. Then I have two issues: a) The order is always the same 3, 2, 1. b) The randomization takes place only in the label and not in the attributes which is totally wrong.

Christos,
Looking at your code you sent support - it all works properly with each alternative being reordered according to the random_order variable.
It’s possible when debugging through the preview you recalculated the random order multiple times.

Here is a cutdown version of your study with a link to the file within.
