I am working with a Fill-in-the-blank item to collect data from participants.
Participants are have only restricted time to give their answer. I use parameter d15 in the experiment file to archieve that. Besides that, I use a html file as background item, to show an on-screen countdown timer.
So far, this works fine.
The problem is, that participants have to press "enter" or to click "continue", else their input is not recorded. But I want to archieve, that their input will be collected, even if they miss to hit enter within the countdown time.
Is this possible with a Fill-in-the-blank item?
Or does it only work with a custom item?

Thankful for any help.
