Input taken from text input item can't be displayed on form text display item

ilke_sahin

I am trying to get an input from the participant and then display it on the screen but the variable can't be displayed even if I can see the input correctly in the variable using the print(variable) command.

Is there any way to print the input taken from the participant on the screen?

Hi @ilke_sahin,

Thanks for reaching out.

Please avoid duplicating posts in the forum. I'm closing your earlier post to avoid confusion for other users.

Relating to your question, the text introduced by a participant through form_text_input can be retrieved from the variable you specified in the form's configuration:

When using code, you can retrive the text using vars.response (OS versions 3 or 4) or response (OS version 4). To display it on screen, you cn simply insert it on a feedback item (not a sketchpad, only the feedback object is drawn in real time; sketchpads are prepared ahead of the sequence running). You can either use [response] (OS versions 3 or 4) or {response} (OS version 4). Could it be that you were trying to display it on a sketchpad instead of a feedback object?

I attach an example task in OS version 4.

Hope this helps,

I was actually trying to display it on a form text display item but using the feedback item solved my problem. Thank you very much.

I wonder if there is any way display it on a form text display item though.
