How to cite the recoded variable names in subsequent questions?


Hello,

I am designing a survey in which I need to present scenarios to participants based on their gender. For example, when participants choose female in the demographics section, the character in the scenario will be named Amy.

I tried the embedded data function and recoded the variable name in the way "female-Amy" and "male-Bob." However, it only allowed me to cite the variable value (instead of name) from the gender question. How can I make it?

Also, I want to avoid the skip logic function, since it would lead to too much redundant information.

Thank you so much 😀

If you want to avoid using JavaScript then follow the below steps:
- You should have your gender question and where ever you are pipe-in the gender selected choice in a separate block
- Add a branch logic as shown below
- !
- Then use embedded data "Pipein" to pipe in the text.

Thank you! But now the piped text is "female-Amy" instead of "Amy."
I guess my original description was misleading. By "female-Amy," I mean if participants choose female, the piped text will be "Amy."

@evans that is an easy fix. On the right side of the Pipein variable definition, just clear the extra information ($ through the space after -) that is in front of "Amy" and "Bob" to leave just their names.
