Hello! I recently re-ran a conjoint experiment using code from 2021 which seems to be no longer compatible with Qualtrics (see post here). Unfortunately, the embedded data for the traits within my code did not save (although this has previously worked with the same survey code in the past). The embedded seed values did save (seed1-seed5). I believe I can still recover the randomized attributes provided to respondents given the seed values and javascript code. However, I am not sure how to do this. The code is below. Any insight on how to recover these values would be greatly appreciated.
The code below is just a sample of for the 5th conjoint profile. This was run five times, with five different seeds, and correspondingly five different trait pairs (traits1a + traits1b …. traits5a + traits5b)
Further, any insights on how to properly save this embedded data in the future would be great as well. I tried the fix listed in the blog post above, and unfortunately that does not work either. I have also posted below how I have saved the embedded data in the survey flow. Thank you!
