Auto answer a text entry question based on embedded data | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi all, thanks for reading and any help.

I am currently programming a survey where I need a text entry question to autopopulate/auto answer with either a “0” or a “1” based off of an embedded data value, but if the embedded data value does not meet the specifications a participant should answer the question themselves. 

So for example, if the embedded data = blue, the text entry question should autopopulate and save with a “0” and not be asked of the participant. If the embedded data = red, the text entry question should autopopulate and save with a “1” and not be asked of the participant. If the embedded data = green, the participant should answer the question and click the next button themselves.

Based on previous threads, I have mostly figured out how to do this with multiple choice questions, but I am not knowledgeable enough in coding to reconfigure for embedded data/text entry instead. 

Hope this makes sense and is possible! Thanks in advance!

Can you share the code you used for multiple choice questions, thanks.

Here is what I found in a previous thread which is the closest I’ve been able to find, but still doesn’t function exactly the way I’d like it to so I’m hitting a road block!

)Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
let selectedRecode = Number("${q://QID1/SelectedChoicesRecode}")//answer from the previous questions
let setAnswer;
if (selectedRecode == 1){
setAnswer = 1 // Recode you want to set
}else if(selectedRecode == 2){
setAnswer = 2
}else if(selectedRecode == 3){
setAnswer = 3
}

this.setChoiceValueByRecodeValue(setAnswer,1)

});

 

Thank you!

Hi @Erin,

I create the below code for you. You just need to change the embedded data name (‘color’) and question id (‘QID81’) to yours.

 

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
    /*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page loads*/
    
    var defaultText = Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData('color');
    
    if (defaultText ==='blue')
    
    {
    
    $('QR~QID81').value = 0;
        this.clickNextButton();
    }
    
    else if (defaultText ==='red')
    
    {
    
    $('QR~QID81').value = 1;
        this.clickNextButton();
    }
    
    
});

 

Didn’t added anything for “Green” as it gets covered in rest cases (any other color or missing embedded data value). Do thorough testing.

 

Regards,

PD
