Hi, I'd like to record the time it takes participants to press the space bar without it moving on to the next page. I'm doing Remote Associate Tests and would like the option for the participant to press the spacebar when they have come up with the solution, then they can type it out. As Qualtrics only seems to time how long you're on the page for, I'd like to incorporate this key press RT so I know how long it takes for them to think of the answer (not just type it out). What I've found on this forum and others is a code along the lines of... Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { var qid = this.questionId; document.onkeydown = function(event) { console.log('keydown',event); if (event.which == 32) { event.preventDefault(); jQuery('#NextButton').click(); } } }); However this doesn't seem to be working. Most of the codes I've seen are for multiple choice questions, but all of mine are text entries. I'm a real novice with Javascript, so any advice would be very welcome! Thanks

In case you have defined the column manually in the survey flow, it should be there in any case. If the script were wrong, the column should be empty but not missing. Isn't it just hidden? If you aren't sure, try to check it like this.!Otherwise I have no more ideas where could be the problem, sorry.

Hi @flebThanks very much for all your help. I changed my variable name from 'solutiontime' to 'embeddedsolutiontime' then copied your code again. I needed a space between t and ) in Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData( 'embeddedsolutiontime', t)but now it is recording the time it takes to hit the spacebar in my excel spreadsheet.Thanks once again!
