Store Username as a Static Value

joerodmey

I want to capture the username at specific times (Ex: when a user clicks a radio button) but it appears the username is always captured regardless of if its in a relavant based on a radio button. I also cant store it in a variable without it changing.

Any ideas?

thanks

Error no longer exists but in testing it appears that my new field (user_status) which holds the username is changing if I login as a different user. I know this because I set this field to text for the meantime for testing

Hey Joe, looks like within your if statement you have a double quotation instead of two single quotes.

if(${Request_Status}='In_Progress', once(${user_status}),") that should be two of these ' together.

If think if you change that up, then you should start to see some data following...

Cheers!

I keep getting invalid calculate error. Basically I have 3 fields in play:

-my select one called Request_Status which has 3 selection options

-my username type called user_status

-my hidden field that stores the username called user_storage

on the hidden field called user_storage I'm running the following calculate: if(${Request_Status}='In_Progress', once(${user_status}),")

when I save my excel sheet I get the error mentioned above

It would be a little tricky and depends on what the end game/goal is, but it sounds like you could possibly do the following -

Create a question type of "username"
Then you will need to create a new question that is the Yes/No select one question within your survey as you implied above.
Create a hidden question directly below the question that you are having the user answer Yes/No to and within the "Calculation" field enter an if() function with a once() function embedded that will populate the username question's answer when the question is answered as "Yes".
if(${NewQuestion}='Yes', once(${username}),'') should be the function that calls the answer of the username question once they answer "Yes".
