Move unload inside onload so you can refer to the timer variable. Hi Tom Thanks you for your answer. I tried around for quite some time but I am not used to JavaScript and can't get it to work. The best I came up with is this: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { var timeRemaining = parseInt("${e://Field/timeRemaining}"); var ID = this; var timer = setInterval(function() { if(timeRemaining <= 0) { jQuery('#'+ID.questionId+'.InputText').val('-999'); $('NextButton').click() } timeRemaining--; Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('timeRemaining', timeRemaining); }, 1000); }); It seems that the question object is not pas

I tried to incorporate your feedback and ended up with this code: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { var timeRemaining = parseInt("${e://Field/timeRemaining}"); var timer = setInterval(function() { if(timeRemaining <= 0) { jQuery("#"+this.questionId+".InputText").val("-999"); $('NextButton').click() }

Hi TomG Thank you very much for your answer. This might work. Can you share more details on how to implement it? As far as I understand it, we would have a text-box question (as it is now) and adding to the current code a hidden choice answer inside it's JavaScript menu. The force response mechanism would then accept either a text-box answer or a choice answer, right? Can you share the code? Thank you so much! Jonas
You can make a displaycondition on every question which requires your TimeLeft to be > 0. If the timer is 0, it will skip all questions and you will get into the new block.

You would just pipe the word fragment into the question. Awesome, that is exactly what I am looking for! Since I am quite unexperienced with code I do not know how to implement it. Because: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function() { jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText').select().focus(); }); Gives me the Error: #SiteWide.Alert Invalid JavaScript! You cannot save until you fix all errors: Unexpected token ILLEGAL How to implement the code? 😀 Thanks Jonas
