Trouble with data columns

I am struggling to ensure the "actual_crowd_anger" is recording the current item displayed in a set. From my data files, sometime the actual_crowd_anger =0 for the trial but I dont even have 0 as a current item number (I have attached an example of how I coded the data collection at the trial level of AsingleWF_001 - should I be writing currentitemnumber or currentitem or currentindex....?)

I am also struggling to get my AUDIT and AQ questionnaire expressions displaying in my data file (It only appear if I code it inotthe summary data file?)  Any advice is much appreciated!!

There is no such thing as "actual_crowd_anger" in the code you posted. I don't know what you are referring to or what you want the code to do in the first place. Moreover, the code excerpt is far too inomplete to say anything meaningful about it.

Please provide a meaningful explanation of what exactly you want to do, please comment  your code accordingly, make sure it is sufficiently complete, and please refer to any elements by the names they appear in the code.

My apologise Dave - I mean "actual_crowd_mean" instead of "actual_crowd_anger". 
I would like to record the item number that is presented in each trial (since it pools from a pool of 50 item pictures) (for example if the image displayed is "WF_001_34.jpg", I would like "34" to be recorded as the actual_crowd_mean). I have it coded as the bold bit in each of my trials and I have a column heading in my data section that is values.actual_crowd_mean. However it is not accurately recording what images are being displayed and sometimes it will show 0. 

<values>
/drink = 0
/likert_response = 0
/slider_response = 0
/ success = false
/stimulusitems = ""
/actual_crowd_mean =0
/crowdgender =0
/rt = 0
</values>

<trial AsingleWF_001>
/stimulustimes = [0=noreplacenorepeat(picture.Alcoholdrinks); 1700=blank; 1800=replace(picture.WF_001); 3800=picture.mask_WF_001]
/timeout = parameters.stimulusduration
/recorddata = true
/ branch = [return likert.angerlikert_WF_001]
/ ontrialbegin = [values.actual_crowd_mean=picture.WF_001.currentitemnumber;

You need to move this

/ ontrialbegin = [values.actual_crowd_mean=picture.WF_001.currentitemnumber;
 values.drink=1;
  values.crowdgender=1]

to /ontrialend, i.e.

/ ontrialend = [values.actual_crowd_mean=picture.WF_001.currentitemnumber;
values.drink=1;
values.crowdgender=1]

At the beginning of the trial, no selection for <picture WF_001> has occured. That only happens when the stimulus presentation sequence (/stimulustimes) is prepared, and that happens only after any /ontrialbegin logic.
