I have an embedded data field in my question as shown below.
This was the value from using the Insert Embedded Data option and writing caption1, I also tried ${e://Field/caption1} but got the same empty result.
Within the JavaScript for my question, I have the following code
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData( 'caption1', "a" );
});
However, when I preview the page the embedded field is not shown. How can I change my JavaScript to get the embedded data to appear?
Embedded data field with JavaScript is not appearing?
+27You can't pipe embedded fields on the same page you set them. The the pipes are resolved before the JS runs.
When you insert embedded data, just enter the field name, not the pipe. When you enter the pipe you get the encoded version of a pipe within a pipe: ${e://Field/${e://Field/caption1}}
+27The correct pipe is ${e://Field/caption1}, just type it directly where you want it piped.
+27Please note my first comment.
My apologies, if it is not possible to pipe embedded fields on the same page they are set in, what is the workaround for inserting the embedded data?

Good to know, thank you! Do you know what syntax I should be using for the HTML element (or any resources that I can use to find this out)?

JS:
jQuery("#caption1").html(caption1var);
