Custom Code

I'm working on a survey where I need to conditionally add text to an existing question based on an embedded data value.Specific requirement:Embedded data variable: Example_Survey = ABC Add "Sample Text" to a question Only add this text if the class equals "ABC"  If the value is anything other than "ABC", do NOT add the textSince we're running multiple survey variations within the same survey and it is only two words in one questions, I'd prefer to implement this using CSS classes and JavaScript rather than Qualtrics' built-in logic, as this would be cleaner and more maintainable.How does a Class recognize the embedded data value?Do I have to create a nested Embedded data field?Thank you!

Hello,I am trying to find ways to convert my survey export (json file) to be compatible with Qualtrics format. I saw that there was a way to convert it into RIOS format then convert it into the QSF format. Was anyone successful in doing so? My institution is moving from Checkbox to Qualtrics.

I need to align the top answer options with the bottom, the support suggested this css but it didn’t work:.mc.horizontal .choices {  width: auto!important; }I also have this code related with the choices alignment, in case it conflicts with the added code:@media (min-width: 30rem) {    .mc.horizontal .choices .choice.above .choice-label {        flex-direction: column;        max-width: 10.625rem;        min-width: 2.75rem;        padding: .625rem;        text-align: center;        margin: 20px;    }} 

 I have a very simple side-by-side with an open-text field for adding additional comments for each item; however, when I go to enter text into the open-text field, all respondent input is centered, which can be disorienting for someone who has a LOT to say. Qualtrics support says there isn’t a built-in way to do this (like the Rich Text editor) and I cannot for the life of me figure out what kind of JavaScript would be needed to change this alignment behavior within the open-text fields themselves.There is a similar-sounding question that has already been answered here, but the problem in my survey’s side-by-side isn’t the

It appears Qualtrics has included it’s own Calendar Question Type. Yay!However, it looks like it also includes a time-interval formatting feature where people HAVE to pick a time. Currently there is not an option to exclude this.I contacted Support and they said maybe there is someone in the community that can recommend code to get rid of it.Would love some help. Thank you!

I have a survey with sensitive topics that I need participants to be able to withdraw from at any time, while still being redirected to a debrief page and then an “end of survey” element for compensation. As it stands, I have three separate debrief blocks (one for early withdrawal, one for late withdrawal, and one for completion). I also have three “end of survey” elements, with each one having its own redirection link so that participants may be compensated based on how much they completed. Right now, I have it set up so that if a participant clicks “Prefer not to continue,” their “withdraw” embedded data variable will either be changed to a “1” (early withdrawal) or “2” (late withdrawal). Upon clicking that button, the code forces the page to advance to the next survey element, which is a branch that detects whether their “withdraw” variable has changed and redirects them accordingly. This is the HTML I have implemented for my “withdraw” text question at the b

Is it possible to change the color of the slider only on the left/right side of the marker? See figure below.   

Hi everyone,I’m working on a survey where the header logo is added via Look & Feel. By default, Qualtrics renders the logo with a generic alt attribute (e.g. alt="logo"), which technically supports screen readers but isn’t very descriptive.For testing, I was able to override the alt attribute at runtime using JavaScript. Before considering this further, I wanted to confirm whether this is a robust and reliable solution for production, or if there are known limitations or risks.My question is: Is there any supported or recommended approach in Qualtrics to define custom alt text for the header logo? Or is relying on Qualtrics’ default accessibility handling the only viable option at the theme level? Would appreciate any guidance or best practices from the community.Thanks in advance!

Hi all, Has anyone programmed the EQ-5D VAS scale in Qualtrics? I have web development experience so have been trying to take a slider bar and tweak it to look exactly like the scale, but currently I can't seem to get anywhere close. I also tried playing around with the Graphics sliders, but still no such look. EuroQol have very strict requirements so the VAS scale has to look exactly like the hard copy. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I am creating a registration form that requires entering a child’s birthdate as a form field question. Based on the birthdate, I want to use branch logic to direct them to other parts of the form. For example, if the birthdate is between 09/02/2022 and 09/01/2023, I want to branch to the Pre-K portion of the form, etc. Since there is no option for branching before or after a date, I am trying to use “greater than or equal to” and “less than or equal to”. But since the entry is a date and not a number, this is not working. How do I fix this or convert the form field date to a number to use branch logic?

Im trying to make a mobile friendly multiple choice question where the question alternatives are side-by-side for alignment purposes. Id like to add additional labels to the left of the choice alternatives. How to do this? What I have done:What I would like to do: 

Hi Everyone,I’m trying to clearly understand how Qualtrics determines the base language for an email template/survey.In our case, the content was originally written in English, but when translations were added later, English was never added via the “Add Translation” option. Now, English does not appear as a selectable language in the translations list, and another language seems to be treated as the base. So I wanted to confirm:Is the base language in Qualtrics determined by the first language that is formally added via the Add / Edit Translation option, rather than the language in which the content was originally written?Also:If English was only used as a drafting/template language but never added as a translation entry, does that mean it can never be treated as the true base later without rewor

Dynamic Starting Point for Alphabetized Order: I’m interested to discover a way to randomize names on a survey question (roughly 1-300 names) that would maintain alphabetical order while rotating the starting point for each participant as they access the survey. Specifically, I want the selection to remain in alphabetical order (A…Z), but to begin at a different letter for each respondent by randomly selecting a starting point. For example, if the names are as follows:Alice Bob Charlie DavidOne respondent might see:Bob Charlie David AliceWhile another might see:Charlie David Alice BobWe would greatly appreciate any insights, code snippets, or resources that could help us achieve this functionality using JavaScript or customized features within Qualtrics.Thank you for your assistance!

Hello,I’m using a Pick Group Rank question for 9 possible options across 3 groups. Respondents need to pick 1 option for each group. The validation is set for each group to contain a minimum and maximum of 1. All of that works fine.But I ALSO want to add a custom validation so if the respondent chooses a specific option, they get an error message (that option is sold out). I know I can just remove that option or use display logic to prevent it being displayed at all, but I want that option to remain on the list and for the validation to fail if it’s selected. I can’t figure out how to add that custom validation on top of the “each group contains” validation. The Qualtrics interface really makes it seem like one or the other.Appreciate any guidance you may have!

Hello!I have a question everyone sees that is like this:  Click if you want to know more on  <button onclick="alert('Display question topA')">topic A</button> or <button onclick="alert('Display question topB')">topic B</button>. How can I make the respective questions topA and topB to appear in the pop-up text? Both topA and topB are of Question type “Text/Graphic” (but contain only text).  Any help highly appreciated.  Edit:  I tried <button onclick="alert(${q://QID9/QuestionText})">Topic A</button> and <button onclick={q://QID11/QuestionText}>Topic B</button> but both yield the Alert JavaScript is not allowed in question text.

Hello,I wanted to ask if anyone has successfully created a matrix table question with an uneven number of statements for the respective columns. I have attached a screenshot example of what it would like (See Attached). There would be seven statements total (in my example, business activities), but only three of the statements would appear for one column and all seven for the other.I know I can utilize the ‘Make Answer Exclusive’ for the first column and create a custom validation to limit the number of options checked for the second column. However, after confirming with the Qualtrics Support AI Assistant that this is not possible, I wanted to see if someone has figured out a workaround for this type of situation.Thanks in advance for any insights!Regards,Eric

Hi Guys,I wanted to check if there is a default option available to create a Table in Email Invite Messages or it can only be done using HTML?

I have a survey where we need to use an anonymous link, but we are embedding certain details into the query string to give us certain details.  The link is something like www.survey.com/?D=YYYYMMDD&T=HHMM, so the actual link would be something like www.survey.com/?D=20251120&T=1015. I want to use that data as date/time segmentation on the dashboards.  I will set those up using this process (https://www.qualtrics.com/support/vocalize/dashboard-settings-cx/dashboard

After someone selects a choice from my Satisfaction question (1st question), the response is recoded to 1-5 as an embedded data object “OSAT” at the end of the Block in the Flow. When users click the first answer, then close the survey, the survey is not recording the OSAT ED object because it has not hit the Survey Flow and won’t until they go to the next page.Question: Can you set up a script in the Java code in the AddOnUnload field to capture the embedded data and record the ED object OSAT? 

This is actually slightly more complex than even that question asks.I am asking parents to complete a survey about their child’s language and they tick each word their child knows.I would like to produce a word cloud from the words their child knows. It can eithera) just have a random set of random sized words from among the words their child knowsb) have a set of words that is in proportion to the score for the category that word comes from (e.g. if their child scored 10 on animal words the word “dog” would be randomly chosen from that category but then if they only scored 2 on food words the word “cheese” would be smaller).Currently the word items are numeric (so I know this isn’t ideal for passing to a word cloud) and I know Qualtrics can display live reports but I can’t work out how it would display a live word cloud OR how it would display just the report from that one parent’s data.The individual word clouds (especially if I can then work o

I'm trying to set a dynamic custom start position for a slider, but do not want it to be set using the default choice feature. I want to be able to force a response from the respondent, but have the start position be preset dynamically. If I use the default choice feature, it sets the start position but also allows the participant to skip answering and simply click forward because it preselects the answer. Therefore, the default choice feature cannot be used. The custom start position feature seems to only allow a static start position. setChoiceValue also doesn't work because it preselects the answer as well. I need the participant to actively choose a value.Has anybody else achieved this previously? I scoured the community, but the only answers pointed to the default choice option which does not solve my issue.This question has been asked before here, but the answer didn't add

Hi! For an intercept survey, I am pulling in the CurrentPageURL, but that URL contains a piece of data I would like to split out / store separately.  The piece of string I want is not always in the same position in the URL (the URL can be much longer than in this example), and the pieces of information in the URL are not always in the same order, but the string I want will always follow after ‘PNR=’. It’s the 6 letters after that I would want (yellow in the screenshot).Is there any way to store that information in a separate embedded field? We already tried passing through Adobe, but that will not work for us. I am not familiar with Javascript, but feel that’s the most likely way to do it… But wanted to confirm before I try to learn how to do that.

I use to have this coding but lost it but I am trying to create anchors in my email invite and reminder for a multi-lingual email that I would have the 3 languages on top and then anchor the specific language to the section of the email. For example: I have 3 languages (Spanish Portuguese, French) i have a title on top that says “language selection : Spanish | Portuguese | French and then I have each survey invite in each language in the email body and then I tried anchoring the language on top to the section in the email to the language selected on top. The last part is updating the survey link per each message to link the language to open with the Q_Language= Code ….  I started working at my company and they did not set up the automation to pull “Language” metadata in our lifecyles so this is the alternative route to create a multi-lingual email until we get that fixed and then we can use the emails that would pull from the language code and show the exact email temp

Hi,I would like to change the color of the check mark in the radio buttons in white instead of black. Does anyone know how to change this? Both for multiple choice with one choice and multiple choices.  Thanks in advance. 

Hi There,Im trying to create a counter for an imported dataproject. Same thing like using Quota's for a survey but this feature is not available.I was trying to develop a custom code in a workflow of an imported dataset but this is also not working as I can't use the piped text as its not available? Is someone experienced with this? For now I cant seem to find a way to get an counter in the same project
