duvemyster, I am not quite sure what you are up to, but maybe this helps:

I was trying to pull the default answer in from the token table on a multiple short-text question in 2.00+ .

Should entering {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1} in a default field of a multiple short-text question be working?

Thank you, Mazi.

I haven't figured out yet what I was doing differently yesterday, though this has been working perfectly for me each time today.

Hi Joost,

Thank you for your input on this question, I am using your code to pre-fill a limewurvey questionnaire using the last version of lime survey, and it works perfectly!!
However, I have an issue pre-filling a single choice question, but uisng a dropdown list instead of a radio list. The code provided on this forum is not working as soon as we select a dropdown format. As I have some long list (e.g countries code) to fill in, it would be very convenient to use a dropdown.
Did you by any chance already encounter the same issue? Or would you have a solution to pre-fill a dropdown? I haven't found any by far.

Thanks in advance and all the best!

1. Did the solution work for drop downs at previous Limesurvey versions?

2. Please post a link to a short sample survey.

Thanks for your answer.

1. We never tried it for drop downs at previous versions, we did it here for the first time.

2. For instance, we want to create a drop down list of 4 choices for the respondents, asking them to select the role of their institution (NSO/ Academi/ Private sector, IO). See excel sheet. The code works perfectly for pre-filling a radio list, but does not prefill for dropdown. I am using the code below:

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
$(document).ready(function() {
if('{TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1}' == 'NSO') $("input#answer38934X2077X29244A1").attr('checked', true);
if('{TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1}' == 'Academia') $("input#answer38934X2077X29244A2").attr('checked', true);
if('{TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1}' == 'Private Sector') $("input#answer38934X2077X29244A3").attr('checked', true);
if('{TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1}' == 'IO') $("input#answer38934X2077X29244A4").attr('checked', true);
});
</script>

With A1 to A4 being the corresponding answer options for this question.

You need to do something like this for drop-downs (select elements):

Code:
<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">    
 
  $(document).ready(function() {
 
    if('{TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1}' == 'NSO' &amp;&amp; $('#answer38934X2077X29244').val() == '') {
      $('#answer38934X2077X29244 option').removeAttr('selected');
      $('#answer38934X2077X29244 option[value="A1"]').attr('selected', 'selected'); 
      $('#answer38934X2077X29244').val('A1');
    }
    if('{TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1}' == 'Academia' &amp;&amp; $('#answer38934X2077X29244').val() == '') {
      $('#answer38934X2077X29244 option').removeAttr('selected');
      $('#answer38934X2077X29244 option[value="A2"]').attr('selected', 'selected'); 
      $('#answer38934X2077X29244').val('A2');
    }
    if('{TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1}' == 'Private Sector' &amp;&amp; $('#answer38934X2077X29244').val() == '') {
      $('#answer38934X2077X29244 option').removeAttr('selected');
      $('#answer38934X2077X29244 option[value="A3"]').attr('selected', 'selected'); 
      $('#answer38934X2077X29244').val('A3');
    }
    if('{TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1}' == 'IO' &amp;&amp; $('#answer38934X2077X29244').val() == '') {
      $('#answer38934X2077X29244 option').removeAttr('selected');
      $('#answer38934X2077X29244 option[value="A4"]').attr('selected', 'selected'); 
      $('#answer38934X2077X29244').val('A4');
    }
  });
</script>

This thread has nothing to do with equation type questions. To prefill that question type, you would simply place something like this in the question text - {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1}.

Having said that, if your survey is anonymous, there is no connection to the token table so you cannot access token attributes from within the survey.
