Reset answers in matrix table
+3Hello,
I need to present matrix table where instructions as well as each questions (single-answer radio buttons) are based on variables previously set as embeded field. I want to repeat it many times. There are many if's and variations so I didn't choose loop&merge but made it in survey flow, which goes:
1. values are set (embeded data)
2. question X is presented with set values
3. question Y is presented with answers computed based on answers for question X
4. values are computed based on selected answers and saved as embeded data (I only need this)
5. repeat
What I didn't consider was that if I repeat the same questions X&Y, answers will be set from the first round. Is there a way to reset selected response in these questions? Thank you very much!

Don't use arr2 instead use like
`Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
var arr1=[1,2,3,4,5,6]; //rows
for(var i=0;i<arr1.length;i++)
{
var x = arr1[i];
var y = 1;
var m=2;
this.setChoiceValueByRecodeValue(x,y,false ); //to punch the answer in next matrix
this.setChoiceValueByRecodeValue(x,m,false ); //to punch the answer in next matrix
}
});`
+44Are you using the same question in survey flow for each branch.
if yes it will set the previous selected value if question is presented again.

Yes I am. That's why I'm asking, if there is a way to reset it.
+44No actually, You have to make multiple questions as many time you are running for.
Even if you clear data for one iteration than your data will also be lost,
+3I only need calculated data which I save as unique emebeded data after each round - value_1, value_2 and so on.
+44Yeah you can set values to false like below:-
`Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page loads*/
{this.setChoiceValue(1,false) ; }
{this.setChoiceValue(2,false) ; }
var questionDiv = this.getQuestionContainer();
});`
+44since you have matrix question you can use like, arr1 (number of rows), arr2(no of columns)
`Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
var arr1=[1,2,3]; //rows
var arr2=[1,2,3]; //Columns
for(var i=0;i<arr1.length;i++)
{
var x = arr1[i];
var y = arr2[i];
this.setChoiceValueByRecodeValue(x,y,false ); //to punch the answer in next matrix
}
});`
+3Hi, thank you very much. It seems to be on a good way - I have 6 rows and 2 columns, so:
var arr1=[1,2,3,4,5,6]; //rows
var arr2=[1,2]; //Columns
but it only resets the answer for the first 2 rows, not for others. As I'm total newbie, I can't help myself... thanks again.
