This is a bug in the configuration wizard. As a workaround, you can select the 'Custom JavaScript' option and paste in the following code:

    PromptMask  = /^\s*\S.*$/;
    PromptMessage = "Please enter your MTurk ID:";
    PromptError = "The ID you entered was invalid.";
    if ( PromptResult == null )
    {
        Prompt();
    }
    return PromptResult

This is incorrect. You *do* have group assignment in your scripts, at the very least in your IAT. If not specified otherwise in the respective script's <expt> and/or <variables> elements, the /groupassignment method Inquisit assumes by default is 'subjectnumber'. Condition assignment is a mathematical operation, i.e., it requires a *numerical* input to work.

You need to switch the /groupassignment to 'groupnumber' as in

<expt>
...
/ subjects = (1 of 2)
/ groupassignment = groupnumber
</expt>

<expt>
...
/ subjects = (2 of 2)
/ groupassignment = groupnumber
</expt>

and/or

<variables>
/group =(1 of 2) (...)
/group = (2 of 2) (...)
/ groupassignment = groupnumber
</variables>

respectively.

Then set the launch page to generate a random *numerical* group id.

Hello, I tried to increase the length of the message but it doesn't fit the initial window. Is there any way to change the window size. I tried both javaScript and user entered mode, both of them couldn't fit the white window that pop up when I press the start. Where can I get the instructions for javaScript?

This is what I wrote: 

PromptMask = /^\s*\S.*$/;
PromptMessage = "Please enter your SONA ID: If you are not participating for course credit, please put in your ID according to the following instructions: Date of Birth in 2 digits, Month of Birth in 2 digits and the last three digits of your phone number
(For eg. If you were born on March 8th and your phone number is 2222222222, your ID number will be 0803222)"
  PromptError = "The ID you entered was invalid.";
  if ( PromptResult == null )
  {
   Prompt();
  }
  return PromptResult
