Millisecond Forums

Hello,
I am having quite a complex script, in which I want to duplicate a likert element with different anchors depending on the trial. To make the script easier to adapt, I created a list. I want to reference from this list by the use of

<% list.listname.item %>

This works in text and item elements. However, this does not seem to work in the anchor property of the likert element. Is that impossible to do?

Here my script:

*creating list for each block containing the different colors that play a role as text elements
<list colors_text_01>
/ items = ("yellow", "blue")
/ selectionrate = block
</list>

*Trying to use the elements in likert scale
<likert likert_probability>
/ anchors = [1= "100% sure <%list.colors_text_01.items.1%>";
2= "90% sure <%list.colors_text_01.items.1%>";
3= "80% sure <%list.colors_text_01.items.1%>";
4= "70% sure <%list.colors_text_01.items.1%>";
5="60% sure <%list.colors_text_01.items.1%>";
6="undecided";
7= "60% sure <%list.colors_text_01.items.2%>";
8="70% sure <%list.colors_text_01.items.2%>";
9="80% sure <%list.colors_text_01.items.2%>";
10= "90% sure <%list.colors_text_01.items.2%>";
11 = "100% sure <%list.colors_text_01.items.2%>"]
/ stimulusframes = [1 = likert2]
/ fontstyle = ("Calibri", 1.7%)
/ numpoints = 11
/ inputdevice = mouse
/ position = (50,90)
</likert>

The anchors should read "100% sure yellow", "90% sure yellow", ..., "100% sure blue". However, this does not work.

This procedure works, however, in a text element:
<text instr>
/items = ("Please estimate which color will be displayed more frequently by the end (<%list.colors_text_01.items.1%> or <%list.colors_text_01.items.2%>)")
/ position = (50%, 20%)
/ fontstyle = ("Calibri", 2.6%)
/ erase = false
</text>

Here, it reads "Please estimate which color will be displayed more frequently by the end (yellow or blue)"

(In this form it probably does not look very practical to do so, but I want to be able to quickly change the text in the first list and reference to it at multiple instances in the script.)

Thank you very much!
