Hi all,
I have a text entry question and want to count the number of characters the response has and record this numeric value as an embedded data. This should not be visible for the respondents. I want to use the embedded data later on to trigger actions. Does anybody knows how to do it and what the java logic would be?
Thanks

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function () {
    let text_entered = this.questionContainer.querySelector(".InputText");
    text_entered.oninput = function () {
        Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("text_length", text_entered.value.length);
    };
});
