Piping text using embedded data created in the javascript api | XM Community
Skip to main content

Hi

 

I have a question in my survey which needs to pull through a previous (numeric) response from another question. I perform some functions on the response then pipe the one of the values depending on another constraint. Some of the values may seem irrelevant. For the ones I care about I have tried creating embedded variables in the api but they either aren’t working or the output isn’t being displayed through the piped text. I will attach the code from the various questions.

 

Here is the piped text I’m using in the next question block:

${e://Field/Score} - ${e://Field/T5} - 10

${e://Field/Score} - ${e://Field/t5}

 

The other issue is that this displays the sum of their final score but it would be better displayed as one value so the calculation goes on behind the scenes.

 

Many thanks in advance

Three things to start:

  1. You should be using addOnPageSubmit() instead of addOnUnload()
  2. In your first line of code y is undefined.
  3. The fields you are piping (score, T5, t5) aren’t embedded data fields, they are JavaScript variables

Thank you for this. I have amended the first two as suggested. Do you know how I may pipe text into another question using the set embedded data and get embedded data functions that are in the code (if possible)?

You are saving t5 and T5 into the embedded data field ‘taxdue - reported’  so you would pipe that field (maybe they should be two different fields?). I recommend modifying it to ‘taxdue_reported’ so it doesn’t include spaces or a dash.  Then you can pipe it as ${e://Field/taxdue_reported}
