Embedded data is incomplete when download/reported

Question

When there is embedded data that looks like[{x:1,y:2},{x:3,y:4}]it is reported/downloaded as [{"x":1,"y":2}]Is there any way around this (aside storing the embedded data in a different format). Or, since I imagine this is from some processing of the embedded data or the conversion to strings, is there any way to turn the processing/conversion off?Here is a simply way to reproduce this behavior: Create two text/graphics questions (and an embedded data field named "test")in the first question, put the following javascript code:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){	/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page loads*/});Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function(){	/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is fully displayed*/let var1 = {x:1,y:2};	let var2 = {x:3,y:4};	let embed = [var1, var2];	Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("test",embed);});Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnUnload(function(){	/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is unloaded*/});In the second question put the following html and javascriptValue: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){	/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page loads*/	let embed=Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData("test");var output = document.getElementById("demo");	output.innerHTML ="first x is " + embed[0].x + " first y is " + embed[0].y + " second x is " + embed[1].x + "second y is" + embed[1].y});Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function(){	/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is fully displayed*/});Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnUnload(function(){	/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is unloaded*/});Then preview the survey (not the question), go to the end, and view the embedded data.

I just encountered the same problem and believe to have found the answer. You need to set the embedded data type as ‘multi-value text set’ in survey flow. Your export should then report the complete list.
