Group: Forum Members Posts: 14, Visits: 25	Dear all, I have another question in regards to my experiment: In my experiment I have 4 blocks of stimuli items. Now I would like to randomly assign 1 of 4 colors to the blocks. I tried to do this by defining a value label and then put the <%value.color_1%> into the elemtnes defining the text: <values > / color_1=noreplace((10,10,0),(0,10,10),(10,0,10),(10,10,10)) </values> <text A> / items = A /color = <%values.color_1%> </text> <text B> / items = B / color = <%values.color_1%> </text> <text C> / items = C /color = <%values.color_1%> </text> <text D> / items = D /color = <%values.color_1%> </text> Unfortunately this is not working. The message list errors tells me that "Expression '<%values.color_A%' is invalid. Expression contains a syntax error." Can you help me with this task? Is it correct to assign colors by using the value-function? Thank you so much in advance!! Tags color random selection
