saving the right data

In my experiment, people are shown an ID and flag, and asked how many tokens they want to give to that person (0-10). In the data file, I can see the number of tokens they gave in each trial (their answer on my custom Likert scale) but not which ID and flag was displayed in that trial. How do I save that information in my data as well?

The data is automatically saved in the stimulusitem16 column if you use the default data recording scheme (i.e. if you have no /columns in a <data> element specified; see https://www.millisecond.com/support/docs/v4/html/language/datarecording.htm ).



Otherwise specify what you want to log, i.e. the picture.flagb.currentitem property:

<data>
/ columns = [... picture.flagb.currentitem ...]
...
</data>

A recent example is here: https://www.millisecond.com/forums/FindPost20830.aspx
