Randomize a subset of respondents into existing variable categories

Flamingo pink Kingfisher
Allow users to randomize a subset of respondents into existing variable categories.
For example, a user has a gender variable that contains the following categories: male, female, non-binary, prefer not to say. 5 respondents selected the non-binary and prefer not to say categories. The user would like to recode those 5 respondents randomly into the male or female category, and then proceed with creating a simple male/female weight.
The customer noted: "Randomization in weighting is a common technique. A request for future development would be nice."
They are currently doing this in Excel or using Javascript code using respondent id to manually categorize them into different groups.
