Checkboxes not recording value

[IanEisenberg]

For checkboxes, value is recorded merely as "on" or "off", instead of the boxes actually checked. So "what is your race" just gives us "on". Involves this function

[vsoch]

I think your link is broken. It's not clear from the description what you are describing (data export?) Why is having on/off a problem? It is still an indicator of checked / not checked.

[IanEisenberg]

Sure, that's fine, but some questions have multiple checkboxes and only output one value.

For example, here is an output of one demographics questions "What is your race" which has multiple possible options like this:

The data output looks like:

index                                                           4
battery                                     Self Regulation Pilot
experiment                                    demographics_survey
finishtime                            ...
id                                  demographics_survey_6_options
options         [{u'text': u'American Indian or Alaska Native'...
question_num                                                    6
required                                                        1
response                                                       on
text                                           What is your race?
worker                       ...

where options are:

[{u'id': u'demographics_survey_6_0',
  u'text': u'American Indian or Alaska Native'},
 {u'id': u'demographics_survey_6_1', u'text': u'Asian'},
 {u'id': u'demographics_survey_6_2', u'text': u' Black or African American'},
 {u'id': u'demographics_survey_6_3',
  u'text': u'Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander'},
 {u'id': u'demographics_survey_6_4', u'text': u'White'},
 {u'id': u'demographics_survey_6_5', u'text': u'Choose not to respond'},
 {u'id': u'demographics_survey_6_6', u'text': u'Other'}]

Ah I see, we will need to export differently! Thanks the the clarification.

[IanEisenberg]

I'm not seeing the data updated in the export. Does this line need to be updated to match this one?

[IanEisenberg]

Nevermind. Everything looks good.

[vsoch]

:)

[IanEisenberg]

I comment too quickly, sorry @vsoch!

Responses are recorded now, but they do not record multiple checks.

A response like this:

Only records "American Indian or Alaska Native"

[vsoch]

Each entry is exported as a separate response with the same question ID.

[vsoch]

eg, here I checked three, and the result exports all three for demographics_survey_6_options question:

[vsoch]

and looks like there is a bug in that survey, an extra space with "Black or African American" if you want to fix.

[IanEisenberg]

Sure, I'll fix the typo.

Something is lost in translation - the data I'm getting out using expanalysis (even just the get_results function you wrote, just to make sure I am avoiding any problem) does not have those multiple entries. I'll make another dataset and double check I'm not missing anything.

[vsoch]

get_results is parsing data from the api, correct?
