Hi @ all,

I'm rather new to Limesurvey and spent the past few days reading through this forums and various guides and manuals. Currently, I'm looking for a way to dynamically "calculate" the SGQA identifier, since I need to access multiple fields to give some kind of custom analyses right after the survey is completed. That means, instead of accessing each field manually by doing

var answerX= "{INSERTANS:1234X1X1}";
var answerY = "{INSERTANS:1234X1X2}";
etc.

I'd rather loop over multiple fields and concatenate the SGQA identifier, similar to
var SID = 1234
var GID = 1
var QID = 1
var SGQA = "{INSERTANS:" + SID +"X"+GID+ "X" + QID}

(braces would need to be escaped of course, but you get the idea)

I tried multiple variations, but it seems that Limesurvey only fetches the values if a complete string term of "{INSERTANS:[...]}" is provided.
Am I missing out on something? Is there another (possibly better :lol: ) way?

Best regards
Chris

why not using the answer code? You can create it the way you want.

Thanks for the input. Could you go in somer more detail about that? I know that I can access the answer object via JQuery $('#answer1234X1X1), but it's a huge object and kind of hard to traverse if you don't know exactly what you're looking for). I read the manual regarding the expression manager and how to access variables( Expression_Manager#Access to Variables ), but since I am not defining expressions in the manager itself, but in JavaScript, there's still some missing link. Unfortunately, all the examples I found simply use a static "{INSERTANS:XXX}"

Hi,

{SGQ} replaced by the SGQA of the question

$('#answer1{SGQ}), and $('#answer1{SGQ}SQ1) for subquestions

Alright, thanks for the input. But that still means, that I have to hardcode the SGQ, doesn't it? I'd like to have something like
var sSGQ = XYZ;
var sAnswer = { sSGQ };

I currently got it working using 'hardcoded' identifiers, but is it possible to use JS-variables within the expresssions. It seems like all the expressions are immediately parsed at runtime.

If answer are in same page : yes : you need to update the part when answer is updated.

I don't know what you want to do exactly ....

You can use too :
$('#answer{that.qcode.sgq}') to get the actual value of the answer qcode.
