Hello XM World,
I have a general question. I'm testing an idea about a pre/post survey design -- the testing is happening just on one survey currently to see if it even works before creating the second.
In Question 18, I ask a multiple choice question about that requires them to select all that apply from a multiple choice list (8 different responses).
On question 19, I want the selected responses to appear in the sentence... "You've previously indicated: ${e://Field/Previous%20Responses}"
To accomplish this, I added an embedded data field to survey flow near the top, named it 'previous responses' and it appears as ${q://QID18/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices}.
When I publish and test this... the ${e://Field/Previous%20Responses} remains blank, but I see the sentence text.
Can anyone advise?

Additionally, is there a way to SPLIT the responses -- say an individual selected options 1, 4, and 8 and I wanted to embed those as multiple choice OPTIONS for another survey question on the post survey. Is that accomplishable? I mean I can't even get the text to appear without splitting so this is definitely step two.

gjk2020 Qualtrics reads the survey flow from top to bottom, so if you want to include question response data in an embedded data field, that field must be inserted after the question. In your case, you'd need to put Q19 in a different block than Q18 and insert the embedded data field between the two blocks.
Regarding this specific scenario, it would be easier to pipe the text in from the question rather than first saving it as embedded data. In the Q19 text, you'd want to include: ${q://QID18/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices} (assuming you haven't renumbered your questions. )
