Slider cannot be changed in code when using builder

Builder

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

What are you trying to achieve?

I built an experiment using a builder and some specific code utilizing the code component in the builder.
I am trying to adjust a slider size during the experiment to ensure that it’s size is optimal. Example of what I am doing is here

I added a slider component using builder and then used the code component to adjust the slider size at the beginning of the routine.

I got an attribution error here

When I tried updating the size in the builder by setting size to every repeat

I got this error

Also, I am unable to change the spatial units for the slider. All these errors were when I ran it locally on my computer. Are we able to modify the slider in the experiment? I need to use the builder because I want to run it online later on.

Does anyone knows what is wrong?

Sliders can be a bit temperamental online. Have a look at my interactive slider online demo for an example of me using the slider component and also replacing it with a code version.

Yes but I get this error when running it on my computer. I have not even tried running this version online.

My demo should run offline as well so you can see what code I’ve tried. I know you can’t dynamically change the number of tick marks.

I’m on my mobile so don’t have direct access to my code

Thanks Wakecarter. I found your code and I will give it a look and try it out later.
