the code you provided might not work as expected because it looks like you are trying to mix JavaScript variables and Qualtrics piped text placeholders incorrectly.

To correctly retrieve the text entered in the matrix table, you should use the Qualtrics JavaScript API rather than directly using jQuery to select elements. Here's a way to do it:

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() {
    // Retrieve the text entered in the matrix table cell
    var itemText = "${q://QID330/ChoiceTextEntryValue/3}";

    // Use the retrieved text as needed (e.g., display it in the console)
    console.log(itemText);
});
 

The above code will correctly retrieve the entered text from the specified matrix table cell with an "allow text entry" function and save it to the itemText variable. Note that this code should be placed within the "Survey" section of your Qualtrics survey.

Hey @Josang ,

Great to e-meet you.

The Java-script code var  itemtext= "${q://QID330/ChoiceTextEntryValue/3}", should work (see the working screenshot below).

However, make sure that, you have added the Javascript in the question asked AFTER your metrix question where the 2 questions (metrix and the question with JS) should not be on the same page for the JS to work.

Hope this helps.

Hi all, 

I wanted that this was saved during the same question, because I want to use it in the next question. So, it works in the following way:

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function() {

var  itemtext=    jQuery("#QID330 input type=text]").eq(3).val();
});

I was using a number row incorrect in eq(), so I always should check that!

Thank you!!
