Hello,

I have another suggestion. Would it be possible to add a shuffle option to the Card Drop component? I frequently use this component, and it becomes quite cumbersome to manually specify the order for each card drop.

Cheers, Cath

Do you mean a ‘Randomize’ setting similar to that of MCQ, Matching etc?

If so then yes given that most other questions have this setting it seems reasonable that Card Drop should have it too!

Agreed. Can this please be added as a feature request?

Out of interest: would this be just for the cards or for the drop zones as well?

Cards would be the most useful, drop zones could be useful too

Hi @Cath_Ellis & @ShaunP - I’m pleased to let you know that the Card Drop now has two new settings in Behavior to allow for Card/Drop zone randomization:
