Can I use token attributes as default answers to questions?

Yes.

1) Set up your survey to use JavaScript.

2) Add the following script to the source of the question. Replace "QQ" with the questionquestion ID.

If the text input is empty the script loads it with the token value.

This seems like another common request that the equation parser and Issue #5104 might be able to help with.

The way I've done this in the past was to create hidden Equation questions which could set the value of other variables (e.g. set default values for answers).

At Limesurvey 2 (and already at 1.92 as well), you can set default answers using the Expression Manager.

Hi there, how do I do that?

Hello,

I have a multiple short text question. I'd like to prepopulate some of the fields with data from the token list. I have tried this but have not been able to make it work.

This is the script I'm using

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">

$(document).ready(function(){

var qID = 8568SQ001;

if($('#question'+qID+' input.text').val() == '') {

$('#question'+qID+' input.text').val('{TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1}');
}

});

</script>

8568 is the question ID and SQ001 is the code for the first option in the multiple short text question. Is it possible to make this work on this type of question?

thanks

You shouldn't need that.

You should be able to set the default answer in the LS interface:
