==================
We do some research on how people react to an elaborate/minimal AI output. Therefore we created two cases. One group of people should be shown the elaborate, the others should see the minimal AI output. The minimal and elaborate each have two question groups that should be shown.

We did that by using a hidden equation question type with the code {if(is_empty(RandomMinorElab),rand(1, 2),RandomMinorElab)}. Further on, we implemented relevance equations in the minimal/elaborate question groups by using (RandomMinorElab == 1) for the minimal and (RandomMinorElab == 2) for the elaborate question groups. This works fine.

Within the question groups, there are several questions. Two of them are always AI output that gives "Yes" or "No". To rule out the possibility that results are caused by the order of the AI saying Yes or No, we would like to randomize that, too. That means, participants that get the minimal question groups, should only get one of the two Yes-No AI output in the first minimal question group. In the second question group, they should get the question that shows the opposite of the AI output before (so the ones that received first Yes, should receive No second).
We tried to do that by using a second hidden equation with {if(is_empty(RandomYesNo),rand(0,1),RandomYesNo)}. For Case 1- minimal, we gave (RandomYesNo == 1) for "Yes" and (RandomYesNo == 0) for "No". In Case 2 - minimal, we gave (RandomYesNo == 1) for "No" and (RandomYesNo == 0) for "Yes" to make sure that they get the opposite ouput on the second case. We did the same for the elaborate.

The problem is that when we try to preview the survey, in the minimal condition, it only shows the case description but not the questions we randomized and also not the questions that do not have a randomization and should therefore always be shown. In the elaborate version, everything works well.

I already tried to give all the questions without a randomization a relevance equation of 1 == 1 but that does not change anything. We checked all equations and numbers but did not find the issue.

We would really appreciate if someone could help us. Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Difficult to say anything without seeing what you have done, especially as in one version it works, and in the other it doesn't. So there is probalby a small mistake somewhere.

Can you provide us with a LSS file with only the relevant quesitons? You can anonymize them also.

Create a copy, delete everything that is not necessary, if you wish you can give the questions more generic texts and then export it as a LSS. This way we can see what you did and check for errors.

Thank you for your reply. We now decided for another solution where we created 8 question groups and randomized them with 4 numbers.
