Search for a list of random items in a bigger list

[petit-ricard]

Hello,

I am building an interactive app for my classroom of students. I have a list of 1500 exercise titles ranked by difficulty in my DB. I want to randomly select a list of 35 exercise titles (as I have 35 students) and send these exercise titles to each of them.

I run a workflow on the backend and I am looking for a way to do "Search 35 random articles in the list of 1500). SO far, I can only select one item in the list.

How should I proceed?
Thanks

You can use ‘random sorting’ on the search, then return ‘items until:35’ to return 35 random items from the list.
