Millisecond Forums

Hello,

I am trying to run a script for the first time using Inquisit 4 Web. It is a batch script which just pulls up two reaction time tasks (one IAT and one modified from a LDT script). I am able to run the script BUT I am having issues with the "User ID" and "Group ID" portions of the web script setup. For Subject IDs I select "User entered" and "non-numeric". There are two issues here: 

1. After selecting "User entered" it says "Enter the message instructing participants to enter a subject ID." I try to update the text but when I save it just defaults back to the original text (Please enter your ID) and won't save my edits.

2. I select "non-numeric" for the ID because I want participants to enter the MTurk ID. However, if I then enter a non-numeric ID when testing the script, I get a series of errors stating that it cannot find block 1 and block 1 is unassigned and then "2. I select "non-numeric" for the ID because I want participants to enter the MTurk ID. However, if I then enter a non-numeric ID when testing the script, I get a series of errors stating that it cannot find block 1 and block 1 is unassigned and then "2. I select "non-numeric" for the ID because I want participants to enter the MTurk ID. However, if I then enter a non-numeric ID when testing the script (ID = 'test'), I get a series of errors stating that it cannot find block 1 and block 1 is unassigned and then "Invalid Subject ID 'test'. The group assignment method requires a numeric ID."
--If I enter a numeric ID, the script runs. If I enter a non-numeric ID, the script gets these errors even though it says "non-numeric" as the option under "Subject ID" when I check on the web script setup. I don't have any group assignment in my scripts, but I am forced to select how the group ID is chosen, there is no option for no group ID. So is there a choice that will allow me to use a nonnumeric ID? I tried all except the separate URL and they all lead to the same error.

Thanks!
