Hi all,

I pretty much just wanted to know if /optionvalues always necessarily overwrites /options in the data printout of dropdown.Q1.response (or radiobuttons or slider, etc.). The reason I ask is that I wanted ideas on the most efficient way to calculate final scores that require some reverse-scoring, while also having the data display the actual choices the participants selected. The first thing that came to mind was simply creating new values for each reverse-scored item, such as /ontrialend = [if(dropdown.Q1.response=1) values.Q1reverse=4; if(dropdown.Q1.response=2) values.Q1reverse=3; etc.] Then the scores would be calculated with values.Q1reverse while the data column would be dropdown.Q1.response.

It's not an issue if I have to do that, but I just wanted to check if there were any other suggested workarounds. Also I was curious if there were any suggestions about the optimal way to format the conditional statements, if that was what turns out to be necessary.

Thanks!
