Changing subject number

tocb

Hi all,

I have a question that is probably easy for you, but I just haven't found a solution in the forum. Is it possible to save a combination of numbers and letters as an ID? Unfortunately, when I start the experiment I can only enter numbers....

Thank you!

Hi @tocb,

As far as I'm aware, the subject number (stored in the subject_nr variable) has to be a number and does not accept other characters. You can however implement your own subject id input (e.g., using a form_text_input) and make sure to save that variable in the logger. But when running the task within OS, you'd be asked for a subject number and would have to introduce some numerical value.

If you are using OSWeb, the subject number is not inputted by the subject, it is set automatically, so there you can just set it to some value and then use a form_text_input object and treat it as your subject ID in your analyses.

Best,

Fabrice.
