I'm using array question type for two checklists in my survey.  Each has a list of sub-questions identifying psych symptoms with the code value for each subquestion renamed to a summary abbreviated Code like "Guilt."  There are four answer options from "not at all" to "very much" which are coded from 0 to 3.   

The problem is that the answer is recorded in the database as Guilt[1] not just as the numeric value 1.

How do I get the responses to be stored as the numeric value of the Answer option value in the Code for Answer Options?  

Attached is the export of the array checklist.

I finally discovered that I was being misled and given the run around by ChatGPT which failed to recognize the difference between . and underscore.

Checklist1.Circumstance returns the label but Checklist1_Circumstance returns the value

So all my efforts to sum the . version of the variables failed, but this was fixed when using the _ versions.
