"Form-field" to be filled by specific players

[Zhang Sr]

Hi all,

I am facing a question on "form-field" for different players, I try to search previous posts, seems no one asked it before. 

In one of my pages, I need to show different message for the players. To make it simpler, for player's id =1, he/she see a simple message; the rest players ( id !=1) need to fill in a formfield. ( to input a number as their decisions).

In html, i wrote as follows:

{{ if player.id_in_group == 1}}

Please wait for your group members to make their decisions!

{{ else}}

Now please make your decision.

{{ formfields }} 

{{ endif}}

and in the form_fields part i selected one field.

The problem is the message is correctly shown to different players, but the player's id =1 cannot click on the next button to proceed, he/she has to fill in the form where the form is not shown at all.

My question is is it because as long as the form-field is selected, everyone on this page has to fill in? Is there any way that only specific players to input something?

Thank you so much!

Hi Shaorong -

What you need to do is also specify a different value for form_fields for the different players.

oTree allows you to do this with its get_form_fields method:

Thanks,
