We are aware of a problem that results in incorrect branching in encrypted studies (where participant data are encrypted). This issue only affects the branching method "match". The branching method "accuracy" is not affected.

Affected users
We are not aware of any production study being affected by this bug.

Remedies
A fix has been identified and is currently being tested. We expect to release this fix in the week of 03/14/2021.

Dear Researchers,

We have discovered a bug that may have resulted in partial loss of audio recording data. This bug has been fixed. The purpose of this post is to raise awareness in case you are affected by this bug and haven't noticed it yet.

If you collected audio recording data using the "background audio response" between February 04, 2021 and March 12, 2021, the audio recordings were not saved if and only if your study meets all the following criteria:

• The background audio response was used for collecting audio recordings
  
• The background audio response was set to show the volume visualizer
  
• Your study used the "duration" parameter in trial templates that involve the background audio response
  
• Your study did not use the "duration" parameter in the background audio response
  

Hi, Findingfive!
I am writing because I would like to ask you whether there is anything like conditional response for stimuli.
I am designing an experiment, in which participants are asked to listen to audio stimuli and record real words if they heard any in the stimuli. So, basically I need two responses for each stimulus as follows.
i) Choice response ("yes" or "no"): Whether you heard any real word
ii) Audio response (conditional - if "yes"): If you heard any, please say what you heard. 
I would like to make the audio response only available to those who put "yes" in the choice response. I read through the tutorials and grammar reference documents but was not able to find anything like that.
I do apologize for any inconvenience.
Thank you very much.

Sincerely,
Cheonkam Jeong

Hello, I am receiving the error below:

"Your study contains coding errors that we cannot automatically detect yet. Please refer to the Study Grammar Reference Your study contains coding errors that we cannot automatically detect yet. Please refer to the Study Grammar Reference for help."

The task was working perfectly fine. I added stimuli and then received this error. I have referred to the Study Grammar but cannot find the problem.

Hi, 
I conducted a translation judgement task which required participants to judge whether the translations for Mandarin words were correct. In the cvs file of the results, I found several stimuli showed 2 in the network_error_repeat column. I wonder what I should do with this group of data.
Thanks!

Dear colleagues,

an error occurred when one of the participants in my colleague's experiment was taking part in the study. We were able to make a screenshot of this error, please see it attached. This error occurred twice (with two participants). 

Do you know why this error may have occurred? Maybe we can do something to avoid such errors in the future?

Thank you in advance!

Hi guys,
I've hit a snag in the most recent study I'm designing which involves making a trial template replayable. 
I'm presenting participants with a forced choice task where they hear two sound files and have to pick the one that best matches the picture in the middle of the screen. Everything works great until you click the "Replay Trial" button. Things seem to reload but then freeze after the first sound file plays. Neither the second sound nor the response buttons appear and the poor participant is left stranded. Any ideas on what might cause this?
Thanks in advance

Hello,

I had a question regarding properties of responses in finding five. Is it possible to change the size and/or location of the response option buttons? 

-For size, it seems now that responses of different lengths now have buttons that are different sizes (see bottom of attached screenshot). This wasn't the case a few weeks ago (see top of attached screenshot), and I wanted to see if there was some way to return to the original formatting, so that all buttons are of equal size to participants.

-For location, I was wondering if it was possible to make response options closer/further apart on the screen? I'm seeing "layout" and "wrap" properties, but these are slightly different than what I'm looking for. Specifically, I am interested in having two response options that are close to one another so participants may quickly decide between one or the other. It may not be possible, but I just wanted to double check.

Hello, I am a research assistant. Our lab professor would like us to code a break for the users at the halfway point of the experiment that we are coding. I am not very well versed in code and after looking at grammar references for a couple of hours, I gave up. Does anyone have a format to code this kind of function? Thanks in advance.
Example:
6 Questions
Answer Question 1
Answer Question 2
Answer Question 3
*insert mandatory 15-second break with a screen that says something like "this is a mandatory break, please take a second to look away from the screen."
Answer Question 4
Answer Question 5
Answer Question 6
Finish
This is our current code:
Trial Template: 
{
  "Instr":{"type": "instruction",
        "stimuli": ["TrainingInst"],
        "duration": 10
      },
  "Trial1": {
    "type": "basic",
    "stimuli": ["video1","video2","video3","video4","video5","video6","video7","video8","video9","video10","video11","video12","video13","video14","video15","video16","video17","video18","video19","video20"],
    "response_pairing": "alternate",
    "stimulus_pattern": {"order": "random"},
    "responses": ["1R","2R","3R","4R","5R","6R","7R","8R","9R","10R","11R","12R","13R","14R","15R","16R","17R","18R","19R","20R"],
    "delay": 3
  }
}

Procedure:
{
    "type": "blocking",
    "blocks": {
      "TrialBlock": {
        "trial_templates": ["Trial1"],
        "cover_trials": ["Instr"]
      }
    },
    "block_sequence": ["TrialBlock"]
}

Hi, I'm wondering if there's a way to code my experiment on FindingFive so that different participants will be exposed to different versions of the experiment. To give more context, I'm describing my experiment in more details: 
In my experiment, there are 4 versions (each with totally different test stimuli) + 8 practice stimuli (same across the 4 versions). The stimuli in each version should be randomized when presented to the participants, but different participants should be exposed to different versions when they take part in the study (can be either sequential or randomized). For example, Participant 1 will be exposed to Version 1 of the test, participant 2 will be exposed to Version 2. 
Thank you!
