[DDI-users] How to code repeated elements?

[Andrew L Arnott]

I think you have to repeat everything.  But you should put all your vars in
a varGrp of type "grid".

Hi,
      could someone give me some guidance?

I'm trying to work out how to code a repeated set of questions like:

"I am going to read out some words and phrases that have been used about 
the political parties. Regardless of which party you would vote for, please 
say in each case whether you think the word or phrase is true or not true 
of  Party A/Party B/Party C

i)    Understands the problems ordinary people face in today's world
ii)   Shares my values
iii)  Is honest and principled
[ etc ]

What's the DDI idiom for this? It seems to me that some combination of 
vargrps and moving the qstn elements outside the variables should do it, 
but it's not clear to me exactly what I should be writing. Can anyone point 
me to an example? Or is it simpler to just write vars that repeat
everything?

thanks,

Graham
