Important Update to Custom Scripting
SurveyGizmo's CustomScript Action now supports the LUA programming language. Visit our NEW Lua Scripting Resources!
Legacy Custom Scripting Language Deprecation Plans
- New accounts (created after October 29, 2018) will only have the option to use Lua in scripts.
- As of October 29, 2018 Custom Scripting Actions will default to Lua as the scripting type in the Custom Scripting Action for accounts created before this date. You will be able to switch to the Legacy Custom Scripting; though we highly encourage using Lua.
- In the long term, Legacy Custom Scripting Actions will be switched to read-only. The exact date on this is to be determined; we will send notifications well ahead of time.

Example
In this example we use the runtime property "Number," which returns the question number assigned to the question by ID at runtime. Then we concatenate these values to store the unique random order of the questions for this response. Finally, we set the value of a textbox equal to this random order to store for later reporting.

%%property = "Number"; %%q1 = sgapiGetQuestionRunTimeProperty(2,%%property); %%q2 = sgapiGetQuestionRunTimeProperty(3,%%property); %%q3 = sgapiGetQuestionRunTimeProperty(4,%%property); %%randomorder = %%q1 . %%q2 . %%q3; sgapiSetValue(8,%%randomorder);
