Hello, Here’s my setup: multiple response question → next page: carryforward selections to a drag and drop ranking question, use JS to set those ranks as embedded data → next page: use embedded data to ask about the top three ranked selections. I had everything working until I switched the drag and drop question to using the carryforward selections (I had hard coded some dummy responses while I was building/testing). So is it possible to use JS to set embedded data from a question using carryforward? I’m using ‘ChoiceNumericEntryValue’ and ‘ChoiceDescription’ in the JS to set the embedded data. Do I need to use other fields? Should I set the selections from the first question as embedded data and use them in the drag and drop instead of using carryforward? Thanks in advance for any help.

Hello!My team and I are conducting a survey in 6 languages. One of the biggest challenges we have faced is the inability to set embedded data to automatically translate based on the language the respondent selects at the top of the survey.  For example, we’re running a small conjoint experiment within the survey, and thus need to randomize embedded data to appear within a table. It would make it easier in analysis to have all of the translations set within the survey and let the whole thing export to english, but I am struggling to think of a way to do it. Has anyone else come up with a solution for this problem?

Hi All, I have a likert type question in my survey having 5 statements and 7 scale points for each statement. I wanted to apply a validation, where a respondee need to select at least one statement and at max 3 statement. I checked, and it is not possible via direct validations. Is it possible to write a javascript for the same? If yes, then how we can do it? 

Hello, I have a multiple choice question with 85 response options organized into ten groups. I’d like to collapse the groups so it’s easier for respondents to navigate the options (this is not a drill-down question). They would be able to expand a group, select any responses, then collapse it again. I’ve experimented with the accordion function in JS, but I don’t know JS well-enough to get it to work. Has anyone tried this and gotten it to work? Or is there another approach? Thanks in advance.

I have a “how familiar are you question” followed by a “which of these” question. The “which of these” question is only displayed if familiar = true. When familiar = false, I want the value for “which of these” to automatically be set to “none of these”. I need the “none of these” value set right away so subsequent logic will function properly. Any guidance?

I want to have a “date picker” calendar where the date they pick at minimum has to be 7 days from the date they are completing the tool or they can pick any date in the future - is this possible? This is the code I am using for the date picker part:Travel Date:<link href="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/yui/2.9.0/build/calendar/assets/skins/sam/calendar.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/><script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/yui/2.9.0/build/yahoo-dom-event/yahoo-dom-event.js"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/yui/2.9.0/build/calendar/calendar-min.js"></script> <script>Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){var qid =this.questionId;var calid = qid +'_cal';var y =QBuilder('div');  $(y).setStyle({clear:'both'});var d =QBuilder('div',{className:'yui-skin-sam'},[QBuilder('div',{id:calid}),    y  ]);var c =this.questionContainer;  c = $(c).down('.QuestionTe

I am new to Qualtrics so this likely has a simple solution however I am having trouble finding one that works. What I am looking to do is rather simple, present the user with their answer in a later text block. Specifically I am looking to save the option text for the answer the user selected into embedded data. Here is what I currently have, which gives me the code of the answer but I am looking for the option text:Q284    let selectedRecode = this.getChoiceRecodeValue(this.getSelectedChoices());    Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("ans", selectedRecode);This is what I am trying but is not working:Q285    let selectedanswer2 = this.getChoiceAnswerValue(this.getSelectedChoices());    Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("ans2", selectedanswer2);Eventually I present the answer in test like this:Q286This was your answer:${e://Field/ans2}Please let me know if I am missing anything. Thank you!

Hello, For my study i want to link data of one survey (trainers-survey) to the data filled in by their athletes which is in another survey. Is this possible? And how could i do this? can someone help me with this?

Hi, I have designed a research project which needs the participant to enter photos direct from their cameraphone as the answer to six of the questions in the survey. I have seen that this "image capture" type of question is possible on other platforms (harvest my data as an example) but not sure if qualtrics offers this function. Ideally, I do not want users to have to seek out a photo/file on their phone, but would like the user friendly - 'take a photo of x' 'are you happy with this/retake?' 'submit'Does anyone know if this is possible? Thanks

Hi, I have a slider type of slider question that i want to put discreet categories like the stars without changing the type to stars. I was wondering if there was any code i could use to do this. This is because the stars doesn’t allow headers so i was wondering if i can alter just the look to get around this.

I want to put an SDK for app feedback on over 150+ pages of our mobile app.  Without having to program the code 150 times, how do I do this?

I am working on a project that requires several file uploads (attachments) so I need to use the Simple Layout to ensure that respondents can remove and reattach a file if they accidentally upload the wrong file.  I typically use the following Custom CSS in other layouts but it does not function in the Simple Layout.  Any suggestions on how to apply or adjust this code to work in Simple Layout?.QuestionText {color: #003DA6 !important;}.QuestionBody {color: #003DA6 !important;} 

I embedded a YouTube Video in Qualtrics and created four thought probe questions with IDs QID581,  QID809,  QID808, QID810 respectively in the same block.While participants are watching the video, I want  Qualtrics to pause it at random time points within specific time intervals and display the thought probe questions for 30 seconds, each within each time interval, and then resume the video automatically.I generated a Java Script using Chat-GPT, modified and pasted it in Qualtrics but I didn’t work. I contacted some students in a Java script course and they said Qualtrics might be using some functions and calls which I need to include in my code. I have no coding experience. Could anyone help? Is there something missing in this code or Qualtrics cannot help me achieve what I want? Below are the YouTube iframe and the Java script:                       iframe: <iframe width="560" title="YouTube video player" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/sCzRm3nKXa8" height="315"></iframe&

My task is about finding spelling mistake in a sentence and click on the letter causing the mistake.My current code is now showing the statement, automatically going to next page in 30s for each question, I embedded this with JS and HTML codes (see below)However, I want to make my survey autoadvancing in 3 seconds after a click. I saw autoadvancing option in Look & Feel section, but probably because of my code it is not working. Can you help me how to do that? JS:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function (){var qualtrics = this;// IMPORTANT PAGE VARIABLESvar num_es_clicked = 0;var num_non_es_clicked = 0;var num_high_dep_es_clicked = 0;var red_rgb_val = "rgb(255, 0, 0)";var total_num_es = 0;var total_num_high_depletion_es = 0;var new_lower_e = '\u0435'; //lowercase evar new_upper_e = '\u0395'; //uppercase e// END IMPORTANT PAGE VARIABLES// IMPORTANT SET UP FUNCTIONS  var $j = jQuery.noConflict();  qualtrics.disablePreviousButton();  qualtrics.hideNextButton();  // This function prev

When I create a TextIQ topic for one question, how do I sync the topics to another question? I know there is an export/import option, however, that does not sync the topics together. For example, say I have a topic "apple" in Q1 and Q2. If I update the search criteria in Q1 to include "apple | gala", I want to also reflect this in Q2. Currently, if I export Q1 and import it to Q2, I will get a new topic named "apple_1". This also happens if there is a parent topic. For example: I have a parent topic of "fruit" and a child topic "banana" in Q1. In Q2, I have a parent topic of "fruit" and a child topic of "orange". If I import "orange" into Q1, I will get a new parent topic named "fruit_1" instead of putting "orange" into the existing "fruit" parent.

Hi everyone!I am trying to construct something really tricky:I have a matrix question with 6 statements ...our company competitor 1 competitor 2 competitor 3 competitor 4 competitor 5and 5 scale points:no knowledge knowledge considerance purchase loyaltyThe scale points are recoded in values from 1 to 5.Now I want to safe two of the statements as embedded data according to the following rules:a) If for "our company" 2 or higher is chosen, then store "our company" AND store another statement, namely the one with the highest chosen scale point. If there are two or more statements with the same (highest) chosen scale point, then take one of them randomly and store it.b) If for "our company" 1 is chosen, then store the two (other) statements with the highest chosen scale point. If there are three or more statements with the same (highest) chosen scale point, then take two of them randomly and store them.I created two embedded data fields:SelectedStatement1 SelectedStatement2Then I created

Hi everyone!Maybe someone can help me. I am trying to run a code on a page with 80 buttons that checks whether participants have selected all the buttons they are supposed to select. If they have, I want three things to happen:Participants get an alert telling them they did find all the buttons (works!) Percentage of corretly pressed buttons gets written in an embedded data field (does not work) Upon closing the alert, the Next-Button gets automatically pressed (does not work).Any advice on how to make (2) and (3) happen would be greatly appreciated! Here is the code I have so far:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){    this.hideNextButton();    jQuery('.toggleable').on('click', function(){           jQuery(this).toggleClass('chosen unchosen');          var isChosen = jQuery(this).hasClass('chosen');    });    var correct = [5, 6, 7, 13, 14, 33, 34, 41, 43, 49, 58, 59, 65, 79];    var ncorr = 0;    var wept_01 = 0;            jQuery('#check').on('click', function(){        var

Hi All,I am using below mentioned Jquery to use faltpickr and store some embedded data fields but am facing some issues.I am pulling value of minDate from embedded data field which is in the format of ‘DD-MM-YYYY’ but the code is not able to capture that.   I am calculating maxdays variable by subtracting ‘fsi’ from ‘lpi’ but the code is unable to do soCan you please help me see if there is any error in the code which might be required to solve above mentioned two issues?  Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function(){jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText").flatpickr({altInput: true, altFormat: "F d, Y", dateFormat: "Y/m/d",                                                          minDate: "${e://Field/date}", maxDate: "${e://Field/lpi}" });});Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function() {        var fsi = document.getElementById('QR~QID45').value;        var lpi = "${e://Field/lpi}";    moment.locale('en-IN');    var fsi = moment(fsi).format("DD-MM-YYYY");    var lpi = moment(lp

Hi,In the export responses, I receive each response value and label with the internal question id instead of the alterned export question id. When you manually export through the web interface, it provides the export ids for each question. The API on the other hand does not do this. The API only returns the internal question id. How do I get the mapping of the internal question id to the user defined export question id?  Thanks,Leslie

I’ve been searching for a way to show a calendar to respondents that only allows them to select a date within the previous 12 months of the current date. Anything past 12 months would not appear for them. If this isn’t possible, we could also have a custom prompt that closes the survey if they were to pick a date from say, 13 or 14 months ago (from current date).  I would greatly appreciate any help. Thank you!

Hi everyone!We are currently seeking a solution to disable links entered by participants in response fields (text entry questions) of our surveys. We have previously been advised to use custom validation, but this option is incompatible with another validation we have configured for the maximum character count. Specifically, we want the links entered by participants in text fields to not be clickable when viewing the data through tabular widgets on the dashboard.I really hope that someone can help me.  

Hello! I am creating a survey for round 3 of my Delphi design study. All the items will be the same as round 2 but I need to display the mean and range for each item in the matrix table. I believe there is a way to add them as columns in the table for easy reference by respondents but I cannot find that option in the menus. Any assistance would be appreciated! 

Hello,Is it possible to create a question with different headers for each survey item? Repeat header checkbox allows me to repeat them but they all need to be same (as shown in the picture below). Is it possible have different headers? Is a matrix question the wrong option? Can anyone please help out? Alternate suggestions to Matrix-type questions (if not possible) are also appreciated. I have a total of 12 statements, each with 5 options.

Hello all, as in my last discussion post, I am trying to make a video in Qualtrics that has not been loading properly. The video is coded such that it autoplays, is pinned to the top of the page (so that respondents don’t have to scroll down to view it), and can be responded to with the keyboard (e.g., pressing “J” to answer a question about the video). Although this code has worked, when the video loads, it glitches, like so (at the 2 and 7-second marks):This glitching looks a little different with each test, but regardless, it occurs consistently and on all browsers tested (Chrome, Safari, Firefox). Below is the most recently updated JavaScript and HTML code for the first video in the example attached. Since the last forum post, I have tried removing each code (keyboard responding, autoplaying, and pinning the video) one at a time in varying combinations to see if any one function is the problem, but the issue occurred in all combinations. I would really, really appreciate any help a

Hello and thank you in advance,I have a Matrix text entry question. The user does not have to provide data in all 7 rows. I’d like to get a count of how many times data is provided in the “Subject”, "ImportId":"QID38_1_1"} {"ImportId":"QID38_2_1"}{"ImportId":"QID38_3_1"} {"ImportId":"QID38_4_1"} {"ImportId":"QID38_5_1"} {"ImportId":"QID38_6_1"} {"ImportId":"QID38_7_1"}.I created an embedded field, Embedded_Course_Count and with the help of ChatGPT I tried a couple of javascripts but I get no output or 7. Is what I’m attempting possible? Is anyone able to help me with a javascript or another possible solution?Thank you, Noreen
