Change embedded data based on which choice is selected

You can do this with branches in the survey flow. For example:

Branch: If Q1 Is Equal to Yes

Or If Q1 Is Equal to Maybe

    Set Embedded Data: vinnustadur = text1

Hi @joklinn ,

I will advise you to use @TomG  survey flow method .

But if you are still looking for  JS code then you can you use below code:

 

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()
{
var selCho = "${q://QID949/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices}".split(",").map(function(choice) { 
  return choice.trim(); 
});

if (selCho.includes("Yes"))|| selCho.includes("Maybe")) {

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('vinnustadur', "text1");
}
else {

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('vinnustadur', "text2");
}





});

Hope it resolves your query😊!!

problem with this is that I will loose the back button on the next question

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()
{
var selCho = "${q://QID949/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices}".split(",").map(function(choice) { 
  return choice.trim(); 
});

if (selCho.includes("Yes"))|| selCho.includes("Maybe")) {

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('vinnustadur', "text1");
}
else {

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('vinnustadur', "text2");
}





});

Hi, thanks for the answer,

This doesn’t seem to be working for me :/  Its supposed to display “text1” in the following question(if Yes or Maybe) but it just seemingly randomly chooses between “text1” and “text2” no matter what choice i choose.

I also tried putting this code inside addOnUnload on the question. Also tried putting it in addOnLoad on the following question, neither of which worked.

Ok, I’ve realized it isn’t random, it just seems to not update the embedded data on the first time I go to the next question. If I go to the next question and press back then again to the next question, it works. But I will of course need it to work the first time. Not sure what is happening here. I tried putting the following question into another block, still doesn’t work.

Use addOnPageSubmit and do it by choice id:

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function() {
    var cid = jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" input:checked").attr("choiceid");
    if(cid=="1"||cid=="2") Qualtrics.setEmbeddedData("vinnustadur","text1");
    else if(cid=="3") Qualtrics.setEmbeddedData("vinnustadur","text2");
});

I am assuming  that question is on the same page where you are applying the JS  and that's why it is not updating the value on first click.
As this variable(${q://QID949/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices}) will not have data until you click next button.(That’s the shortcoming of embedded data)
You will have to apply this JS after the question with id  QID949 .
