Limesurvey Version 1.71+ (5246)

I would like to use information from my tokens table, as described in the manual (docs.limesurvey.org/tiki-index.php?page=...on_from_tokens_table).

In order to do so, I typed the following sample code into the "Question" section of one of my questions:
My Question?<startscript>if {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1}='worker' then write 'bosses' else write 'workers'<endscript>

Unfortunately, the script code is not executed, but rather displayed as text. When I execute my survey (in closed mode, with tokens defined) or preview the question or edit the question again, I see the following:
My Question?ript />if {TOKEN:ATTRIBUTE_1}='worker' then write 'bosses' else write 'workers'ript />

Could anyone please let me know how I can ensure that the script code will be executed instead of being displayed as text?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Hi, I suggest to upgrade your LimeSurvey installation to the latest build and then use the buildin wizard "LimeReplacementField".

Thanks for your answer.

Given the fact that the feature I intend to use seems to be fairly common, is there any other solution to this problem besides upgrading?

The placeholder should only be used to display certain text blocks. I'm not sure if you can use them within other script. To enable scripting you have to disable the XSS filter. Search for a setting like "xssfilter" in config-defaults.php and copy it to config.php; then disable it.

Nevertheless I doubt that it will work the way you try to use it.
