• MORE TO COME
Are you running this on a Mac, or on a PC, when you encounter these issues?

You can choose them in any order. What you seem to want, though, is for the output order to be the initial dropdown order, regardless of the order in which the items are chosen. That would break the nexus between the dropdown selections and the output list. If I recode the macro so that subsequent entries are not deleted when changing a given response, it will be possible to go some way to addressing this by allowing users to change a previous response.

Yes, that would be possible, but surely you wouldn't want more dropdowns to be available for a given case type than the are valid responses!?

I'm not seeing that - all response dropdowns except the first are deleted and all response outputs are deleted, too. We can revisit that once the above issues are clarified.
