Hello @Chris_Sydney

{% assign myArray = "item1, item2, item2, item2, item2" | split: ", " %}

{% comment %} Generate a random index using JavaScript and store it in a Liquid variable {% endcomment %}
{% assign randomIndex = "" %}

{% comment %} array using the random index {% endcomment %}
{% for item in myArray %}
{% if forloop.index0 == randomIndex %}
{{ item }}
{% endif %}
{% endfor %}
