I'm trying to set my embedded data as the selected choices from prior questions (e.g., country1 = ${q://QID73/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices}, etc.) and then use those embedded data as piped in choices to a new question. However, it's not working: when I preview, the answer choices to the new question all come up blank. Here are the steps I'm taking:
1) Created country1 through country9 as 9 embedded data variables in survey flow, each with a value that has been defined as a selected choice from a prior question (e.g., country1 = ${q://QID73/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices}, etc.
2) Put the green embedded data block from the survey flow prior to the block that contains the question into which I need to pipe the embedded data choices
3) Put a page break between the prior questions and the question into which I'm piping the embedded data
4) Piped in the embedded data as the answer choices for the new question (e.g., ${e://Field/country1}, etc.)
(Note that I cannot just pipe in the selected choices from the prior questions directly into the new question and that I need to use this embedded data route for reasons mentioned in the other post listed above, in case you need more context.)
In case this matters and is having an effect, my selected choices from the prior questions are of the format: ```<span class="choiceText">Afghanistan</span><span class="pipeText">Afghan</span>``` (appears as "AfghanistanAfghan"), again, for reasons mentioned in another post of mine here: https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/5364/using-javascript-in-qualtrics-for-display-logic-when-answers-are-associated-with-hidden-choices#latest
On a side note, if I try creating a question in which I directly pipe in the selected choices from the prior questions, this works. It's only when I try to pipe in the embedded data as the choices to the new question that it does not work. (Again, unfortunately I can't do it this way though for the reasons mentioned in my prior post.)
