Assign numerical values to radio dials

Question

I have a section of Yes/No radio dials. Each of these dials needs to equal a numerical value for calculating a score for example:

Do you like the color red?

-Yes (3 points)

-No (3 points)

Do you like ice cream?

-Yes (1 point)

-No (1 point)

(Each question holds a different numerical value for calculating a score)

The Yes and No radio dials equal the same number for each individual question; however, each question has its own value. I need to assign values to the Yes and No radio dials so that I can total them by their answers of Yes or No based on their assigned values.

Is there any script to do this or is there a simple setting I'm missing to accomplish this? Thanks!

And the code still doesn't work for me. Now it's not calculating anything for me. What's the exact code you used that worked so I can make sure I didn't enter something wrong?

The problem is with the script for TOTAL_RISK_SCORE. Namely, you forgot to put quotes around the field names...

The code I used was:

var total = 0; 
if (this.getField("Group1").valueAsString!="Off") total+=3; 
if (this.getField("Group2").valueAsString!="Off") total+=2; 
if (this.getField("Group3").valueAsString!="Off") total+=3; 
// etc. 
event.value = total;

I placed it as the custom calculation script of "PMTotal", just to test it out.

You can apply the value as the export value of both fields, but that's not good practice.

Instead, you can do something a bit more complicated, like setting the export values to "Yes|3" and "No|3" and then parse the value of the field to get the number of points for it. Alternatively, you can hard-code the number of points per field in your code.
