I am using a slider that has the following characteristics:



min. value = 1 ; max. value = 6; "snap to grid" enabled



The slider does not have a neutral point, however I would like the start position of the slider handle to be at "3.5", for it to be midpoint between 3 and 4 and not influence respondents (whilst retaining "snap to grid" and without adding decimal places).



Is there are away to do this?



I have tried fixing this using the below code, for the first question in a series of sliders:



Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {

this.setChoiceValue(1, "3.5");

});



I expected this to work. However the handle automatically snaps to a starting position of 4 (and is also in bold colour indicating an active choice as opposed to a default starting position).



Any help would be really appreciated
