Generation of verification script group

This group of options allows you to specify the default scripts that will be generated when you use the command generate script for questions not in current script when defining a verification script. Scripts are written using the AskiaScript 2.0 language; for more details, see the AskiaDesign Assistant. Note that in your scripts you can refer to the current question shortcut using either %q or %s. If the question shortcut contains spaces (or other special characters), the use of %q will ensure the shortcut will be replaced with ^shortcut^. Therefore, the syntax around %q will still be valid so this is the recommended method. For more details of verification script syntax, please see run a verification script....
