Examples

The following displays the value of caption in a text stimulus:

<text myText>
/ items= ("caption = <% listbox.q1.caption %>")
</text>

The following displays the value of caption in an instruction page:

<page myPage>

The following code is an example for changing the caption of a (not required to answer) radiobutton question in case it is not responded to. In this example, the non-responded to question should be repeated once with a new caption.

<surveyPage page1>
/ onTrialBegin = {
  values.trialCounter++;
  if (values.trialCounter == 2){
    radioButtons.q1.caption = "Did you forget to make your selection? If yes, please select what applies best:";
  }
}
/ questions = [1 = q1]
/ branch = {
  if (values.trialCounter >= 2){
    return null;
  } else if (radioButtons.q1.response == ""){
    return this;
  }
  return null;
}
</surveyPage>
