Hi @NickVEIC,

you're able to distinguish lines using JavaScript. You can divide your text into array using line breaks and than send your particular responses to distinct embedded filed (which must be defined in the survey flow manually).

You could use something like following script. Be aware that if your respondent enters 11 or more lines, the remaining ones won't be stored. You could either constrain your `textarea` element or save it somewhere else by modifying the script.



Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function()

{

var my_text = document.getElementById(this.questionId).getElementsByTagName('textarea')[0].value.split('\\n');



var i = 0;

var j;



for (; i < my_text.length; i++) {

j = i + 1;

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData( 'my_field' + j, my_text[i]);

}

});

Hi @fleb,



Thanks for the idea! Sounds like a very useful approach. Unfortunately I have absolutely zero skills with JavaScript. Using your code as it's written, should the manually defined embedded data fields be called "my_field0," "my_field1," etc.?



If I'm off base with that, I may have to just hang on to this idea for a time at which I'm familiar enough with JavaScript to make use of it!

Hi @NickVEIC,

you're right with the field names. Regarding to the 11th and higher lines, I've just realized, that the text of the whole field will be stored as a response anyway, so you don't need to implement something else in fact. Just create your fields and copy-paste the code.

Good luck!
