Participant ID starting with a 0 in OSweb

  Hi Pauline,

  The reason for that is Smart variable typing. Basically, every time you enter a digit character, Opensesame converts it to a number. And the string '01' is essentially just 1. I don't know smart ways to fix the code that you linked in your comment to allow for this kind of behaviour, but an obvious solution would be to use 3 digit subject numbers and start at 100.

  I hope this clears things up a bit.

  Eduard

  @eduard Smart variable typing can result in these kinds of things, that's true. But in this case it's a bug in OSWeb that has already been resolved.

  @PaulinePamal Could you try updating to OpenSesame 3.3.3, which comes with OSWeb 1.3.8? (You can also update OSWeb separately, but simply getting the latest version of OpenSesame is probably easiest.) That should solve the issue, right?

  @PaulinePamal In that case, can you attach your experiment here?
