If this template helps then use it. If not then just delete and start from scratch.

Hi all,
This might be a simple thing again but I haven’t figured that out yet, if it is a straight forward solution please let me know.
OS (e.g. Win10): Win 10
PsychoPy version (e.g. 1.84.x): PsychoPy 2020.2.10
Standard Standalone? (y/n) Y

What are you trying to achieve?:
I am trying to create an experiment where we collect summaries for the video they watched before from the participants. I am currently using the new textbox function to do that. However, I also want to display back the summary they wrote in the textbox on the next routine so that they can see the summary they wrote.

What did you try to make it work?:
I have tried the simplest things like using the Text component and putting the text as $textbox.text, as I realized this is the output that we are getting on the data, but that doesn’t seem to work. This is probably due to the lack of my understanding of the python vocabulary.

What specifically went wrong when you tried that?:
It was just giving me “default text” as the display.

Let me know what could be a good method to solve this. Any sort of help is highly appreciated!

Have you set it to change each repeat?

Try print(textbox.text) in code to check it’s recording correctly.

The potentially put savetext=textbox.text and then present $savetext

Thanks a lot for taking the time to give the response.

I had “change each repeat” already set and I also tried creating a similar variable “savetext=textbox.text” during the routine with the textbox component and use that variable ($savetext) to present the text. It didn’t work that time!
However, I realized that I was putting that in the “End Frame” section, It worked well when I used that in the “Each Frame” section, then it Worked!

Hence, thanks a lot, really appreciate that. As I feared it was a simple solution.

Best,
Prasanth
