If the logic includes Branching or Looping then please check the appropriate box. For Testing you can enable Debug Information.

IMP: A Page Break is necessary before a Custom Scoring/Logic Script type question.

What options should be enabled?

Logic Includes Branching: Enable this option if there is Branching involved in the script/logic

Logic Includes Looping: Enable this option if there is Looping involved in the script/logic (Please note that multiple rows of data are saved for each loop).

Enable Debug Information (For Testing): Enable this option for testing the script/logic

Enable Auto Submit: Sometimes you may use this question as the only question on the page. In such cases user will see a blank screen with continue button on the page. The same issue may occur if there is branching logic in the script/logic. If enabled the page is automatically submitted and user will not see the blank screen.
