  It's response, but due to a bug in the plug-ins, it's not shown in the logger item. You can manually add it, by clicking 'Add custom variable' in the logger item, and typing response.

  The bug is a know issue, but hasn't been resolved as the questionnaire plug-ins are deprecated. For a potential replacement, you could try the form plug-ins if you like.

  Thanks Edwin, so it would be,

  response_ratings1? for example?

  No, it would simply be response.

  yes but what if i have multiple rating items? by just typing in 'response', how would it know that it is in reference to that particular item?

  Ah, yes, that's a tricky one. Either switch to the aforementioned form plug-ins, which allow you to specify a variable name. Alternatively, insert an inline_script item after each questionnaire item, containing the following script in the Run phase:

  # get the response, and set it under a different name
  exp.set("response_itemname", self.get("response"))
  

  Be sure to change itemname to the name of the questionnaire item after which you add the inline_script!

  Then, in the logger, simply specify to log everything, or select the variables you create in the inline_scripts, e.g. response_itemname rather than response.
