Hello I have a text entry question for which I want the participant's response to be a part of the survey (the response is used as piped text for subsequent questions) but not be recorded and included when I download the data. I have tried the "Exclude from analysis" option but it doesnt work because it still records the information (just does not show it when the option is checked). Is there a way to display but not record the information at all. Any help is appreciated!

Hello @salomi ,Assuming you don't want to capture the text entry answer nor the embedded data. Step 1: Create an embedded data('HiddenED') in the survey flow as the first element.Step 2: Replace the text entry question with descriptive type question and paste the below code in the js(OnReady) of descriptive question var i ='<input type="text" class="InputText" /><br>'; jQuery(i).insertAfter("#"+this.questionId+" .QuestionText"); jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText").on('blur',function(){ Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData( 'HiddenED', jQuery(this).val() ); });Step 3: Use/Pipe HiddenED embedded data where requiredStep 4: Before end of survey update the embedded data ('HiddenED') in the survey flow as "-"The step 4 will update the embedded data to "-" and hence in the data & analysis tab "-" will be captured.Note : The above solution will work if in survey option we have "delete" option selected in partial completion.

@catiaalvesjust change the first line tovar i ='<textarea type="text" class="InputText" ></textarea><br>';Thanks,Jagdish
