Hi All,
I realised this way too late into editing the task, and discovered that all the problems has the same position for all the blocks and pegs. Inside the code it has the start positions as:

/ r_startX = parameters.h1
/ r_startY = parameters.v2
/ g_startX = parameters.h1
/ g_startY = parameters.v1
/ b_startX = parameters.h2
/ b_startY = parameters.v1

Which isn't ideal if I want each problem to has its own custom start point. I figured that I will have to create a list such that:

<list r_startX>
/items = (parameters.h1,parameters.h2...)

and so on for the other problems. But how do I get the script to change the start positions according to the list as the problems progress?

So i've worked on it a bit more and so far I developed lists so that:

<list g_startX>
/items =(parameters.h2,parameters.h2,parameters.h2,parameters.h2,parameters.h2,parameters.h2,parameters.h2,parameters.h2,parameters.h2,parameters.h2,parameters.h2,parameters.h2,parameters.h2)
/ selectionmode = list.problemnumber.currentindex
</list>

...

and so on for the rest of the fields (the h2 is temporary to just get it working first).

Then I modified the trial.newround such that:

values.b_targetY=list.b_targetY.nextvalue;
values.r_currentX=list.r_startX.nextvalue;
values.r_currentY=list.r_startY.nextvalue;
values.g_currentX=list.g_startX.nextvalue;
values.g_currentY=.list.g_startY.nextvalue;
values.b_currentX=list.b_startX.nextvalue;
values.b_currentY=list.b_startY.nextvalue;
picture.R.hposition = list.r_startX.nextvalue;
picture.R.vposition = list.r_startY.nextvalue;
picture.G.hposition = list.g_startX.nextvalue;
picture.G.vposition = list.g_startY.nextvalue;
picture.B.hposition = list.b_startX.nextvalue;
picture.B.vposition = list.b_startY.nextvalue

but I get the error: Expression '.list.g_startY.nextvalue' is invalid. Expression contains an unknown element or property name. What am I missing?

See the attached script. It has an additional problem with a different start position at the end, and the <list>s defining the start positions are all present. You can use that as a guide for your own.

Thank you so much again for your guidance Dave! My approach was correct, but something must've went wrong when I was coding the lists for list.g_startY. I copied your formatting over for that list and it works perfectly.

Great -- thanks for letting me know!
