Inquiry: Setting Embedded Data value based on another question on the same page | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi All,
I am setting an embedded data value based on the selected value answer through the following JS on page submit event and update the mailing list accordingly with this value:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function (type) {
    if (type == "next") {
var x = "${e://Field/2nd_wave}";
if (x == ""){
var ans = this.getSelectedChoices();
if ( ans == "1")
{
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('x', "Yes");
}
else if ( ans == "2") 
{
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('x', "No");
}
else 
{
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('x', "");
}
}
        }
});
My question, in above scenario, I am checking if (x == "") means empty. I would like to check also if another question on the same page has a specific answer. For example,
if Q1 (question on the same page) answered Yes and x == "", then apply the if statement otherwise no embedded date is set.
I tried to work with getting the SelectedValue using the pipped text but it seems that Qualtrics does not capture that as the previous question is on the same page.

Your insights and feedback is highly appreciated

In the addOnLoad of the other question, add something like, 

q2 = this;
This will make 
q2
a global variable on that page and you can extract the answers using the methods mentioned in the JS API.

I could not understand exactly what you provide. do you mean adding as followed in the other question!!?

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnLoad(function() {
q = this;

});

could you please tell me how to set the other question answer to be examined against the second question conditions? means, getting the first question answer to the second question in order to check it before setting the embedded data addOnPageSubmit event

To provide a solution, I'll need to see your survey preview.

here it is:
https://alj.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/preview/SV_2nUy954B2G5ert4?Q_CHL=preview&Q_SurveyVersionID=current
I tried to minimize the options and questions to simplify the requirement.
Q2 displays when you select the first answer option.
As shown in the screen shot, on addOnPageSubmit(type==next) event; I want to check two conditions in the second question JS before apply it. first, "Booster_Dose" embedded data is empty and second if Q1 answer was equal to "1" to apply setting embedded data.
I am trying to do this in order to ensure that if someone answer both questions then select other option in first question. then Q2 JS will be valid to apply as its answer was selected then got just hidden by the in-page display logic applied with first Q1

Many thanks in advance for your support..

From the looks of it, you really don't need JS for this, it can be done via survey flow.
However, I'll write the code, please fill this up, as I don't understand the values your ED will take:

I know what you mean by doing the things through the survey flow but actually there a purpose of doing it through JS. I am changing the ED field frequently and update the mailing list with this new value to keep track respondents answers for every time they do the same survey.

I already have gone through survey flow option but it didn't work with the multiple skip logics and conditions there 🙂

Many thanks for your co-operation i really do appreciate that..
waiting for your guidance dear


Please add this JS to the second question, the one with the display logic.
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function () {
    const quest = this;
    const qc = quest.questionContainer;
    document.querySelector("#NextButton").onmouseenter = function () {
        if (qc.className.includes("hidden")) {
            Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("2nd_wave", "null");
        } else {
            const choices = quest.getChoices();
            const selected = quest.getSelectedChoices();
            const value = choices.indexOf(selectedc0]) === 0 ? "Yes" : "No";
            Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("2nd_wave", value);
        }
    };
});
Let me know if you face any issues.

Many thanks for your insights..
