Hello,
when I try to export my experiment from builder into javascript, I get this error message:
Traceback (most recent call last):

NameError: name 'blk4' is not defined
This is because I have the names to my image components without quotes in my conditions file ([blk4,blk2,blk9]). If I put them in quotes ([“blk4”,“blk2”,“blk9”]), the export to js works.
However, I cannot put them into quotes since the quotes will also get imported into the experiment and then these names don’t refer to the component named blk4 but rather to a nonexistent component “blk4”. What I am doing in my conditions file is setting a few possible sequences for the components.
Is there an easy way to stop the evaluation of the conditions file during the js export? I am aware that one solution to this would be to manually remove the quotes in a code component or manually copying the .xlsx file after conversion but I am looking for a simpler solution.
Thanks for any ideas!
