Hello Inquisit people:

I am trying to branch to one of two likert elements based on the group ID entered when the script is run.

When I read the manual, it says that a branch attribute can be used in a block element, and that it can branch to an "event (i.e., trial, block, etc.)" But -- when I try branching to a likert event (a specialized trial element according to the manual), it does not seem to make the branch. When I run the following code to test it (pasted because it's relatively short), the script simply terminates without presenting the likert event.

Anything I am doing wrong here? I am attaching the full script of what I am trying to do in my experiment for your reference.

<text test1> / items = ("test1") </text>
<text test2> / items = ("test2") </text>
<likert test1> / stimulusframes=[1=text.test1] /position = (50,75) </likert>
<likert test2> / stimulusframes=[1=text.test2] /position = (50,75) </likert>
<block test> / branch = [if (script.groupid == "1") likert.test1] / branch = [if (script.groupid == "2") likert.test2] </block>
