Group: Forum Members Posts: 15, Visits: 163	Hello, I know that in using /quit within an <expt > element, you can link a value to a response so that if a participant responds in a certain way to a question or trial, it will quit and end that <expt > element. Is it possible to do something similar to this at the <batch > level (i.e., a certain response to a question will abort the entire batch of multiple scripts)? Best, jxb

Best, jxb Yes, you can call the script.abort() function to terminate an entire batch of scripts based on the response to a question or any other metric.
