New embedded data field created in theme in survey doesn't show up | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hello together,

In my theme in the Header I added this code. It creates an embedded data field “TIME”. 
Removing setInterval also didn’t help.

<script>
    Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function() {
    const current_time = function showCurrentTime() {
       const now = new Date();
       const hours = String(now.getHours()).padStart(2, '0');
       const minutes = String(now.getMinutes()).padStart(2, '0');

       const currentTime = `${hours}:${minutes}`;
       console.log("Current Time:", currentTime); // Log only the current time in HH:MM format
       return currentTime;
     }

       setInterval(showCurrentTime, 60000);

       Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData( 'TIME', current_time );

   });
   </script>

When I add the field in the Survey Flow and Question it doesn’t show up

 

I would be glad to get some help. As I am quite new to the topic and didn’t find a workung solution in the Community

 

Thanks!

Hi 
Go to look and feel find the header and add it, sometimes code added in themes do not work on the surveys you apply the theme to so i would advice you to go directly to the look and feel of your survey and add the code there. 

Also you can try with this one:

<script>
    Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function() {
        const showCurrentTime = function() {
            const now = new Date();
            const hours = String(now.getHours()).padStart(2, '0');
            const minutes = String(now.getMinutes()).padStart(2, '0');

            const currentTime = `${hours}:${minutes}`;
            console.log("Current Time:", currentTime); // Log only the current time in HH:MM format
            return currentTime;
        }

        // Initial set of embedded data
        Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('TIME', showCurrentTime());

        // Update embedded data every minute
        setInterval(function() {
            const currentTime = showCurrentTime();
            Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('TIME', currentTime);
        }, 60000);
    });
</script>
 

Let me know if it helps!
