I am looking for a script that is similar to what is shown below for word count, but for character count instead. My JavaScript abilities are extremely limited and I have been unable to successfully adapt this script for character count.The goal is to be able to display the characters within a text entry box to the survey respondent.I am also interested in knowing if there is a way to modify the character count so that it includes (or excludes) spaces.Thank you for any advice/assistance.Here is the word count script I have previously used:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { var q = jQuery("#"+this.questionId); var input = q.find(".InputText"); input.after("Word count: 0"); var display = q.find(".wordCount"); countWords(input.get(0)); input.on("input", function() { countWords(this) }); input.blur(function() { this.v

HelloRecently a new issue occurred on one of our Digital Intercepts survey. The Intercept triggers ok, but when you click on ‘Provide Feedback’ Button survey is not launching. We have not changed anything in Qualtrics on our side of Set up. IT are saying there were no changes made that would affect intercept. Any ideas what could be wrong? anyone came across similar issue?Thanks Anna

Found a solution for but now I have a secondary issue.​@Tom_1842 wondering if you can help out here since it’s your code. I followed the steps you outlined in the above community post and it worked perfectly for the calendar question, hid the time interval, and I  love that it auto-closes the calendar once the date has been selected! But creates a secondary issue for me….When I have the JS on the calendar question it then does not allow my to type in the form fields found in Q2 (the JS is only on Q1 which is the calendar question). I removed the JS from Q1 and then previewed the survey again, it allowed me to type in the form fields in Q2, but as soon as I place the JS back on Q1 it inhibits me from filling out the form fields - interesting as it’s 2 totall

Hi Everyone! Here is a screenshot of what I'm working with. I would like to adjust the width of the question options. I have tried the HTML but some of the options are very long so I need the text to wrap at a certain width, ideally. Thank you for your assistance.

As context I am trying to have people put 3 numbers for each of a series of statements - for desktop respondents I could do this using Matrix text entry or Side-by-side with text entry, but neither display well on mobile (and Side-by-side has no ‘mobile friendly’ options at all).If I use Matrix text-entry, and select Position text above and Repeat Header=All, I get close, but I think its confusing to have the Column headers then the statement then the boxes. So I’m hoping for some javascript that can force the repeated headers to appear BELOW each statement as per the green mockup. If there are alternative ways to achieve the same thing (entering 3 numbers for each item) keen to hear about them also!  Current default formatting (Matrix text-entry + Position text above + Repeat Header=All):

Hi all. I have 2 questions and both are matrix table. Q1 is about the main services categories and let responant to give points say 1-5 and N/A. Q2 is the sub-categories of the main services and also let people to rate points. For example, in Q1, have several main services listed in matrix tables like Network; Helpdesk etc and each item people can rate 1 to 5 or N/A. in Q2, it is the sub services which related to the main services say WiFi, LAN, VPN etc for the main services “Network”. If responant rated 2 for Network in Q1, how to make this value “2” to become the default value of all statement (WiFi, LAN, VPN) in Q2? I hope you can imagine what I am talking about. thank you.

I’m sure this is straightforward but it’s been a while since I used Qualtrics and I can’t quite nail this. I want to hide the next button on a page unless a multiple choice question is selected. It only has one choice and so in effect acts as a checkbox. I found the following code which shows the next button if ticked but cannot get it to hide it again if the question is unticked. Any advice welcome, thanks.Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){ this.hideNextButton(); this.questionclick = function(event, element) { if (element.type == 'checkbox') { var choiceNum = element.id.split('~')[2]; if (choiceNum==1) {this.showNextButton();} else {this.hideNextButton()}}}}); 

HI,  I am working with a team member that wants to create a question that ask a Start Time and End time.  How do I achieve this?There is a “2 minutes with Qualtrics” video that says to use flapjack but no support for custom code.  Any suggest for start time and end time question that allows answers likeStart time 12:00pm End time 1:50pm

Hi everyone,I’m running an online study using a Qualtrics survey that includes a slider question ranging from $0 to $1200. Participants are asked to indicate a specific dollar amount by adjusting the slider.I’m concerned about the default behaviour, where the slider handle is initially anchored at $0. This requires participants to drag the handle across the scale, which may inadvertently introduce anchoring bias, participants might stay closer to $0 simply because of the starting position, rather than reflecting their true response.Ideally, I would like participants to be able to click or tap directly on any point along the slider track, so that the handle moves immediately to that position. They could then fine-tune their response if needed before proceeding.Is there a JavaScript workaround that enables click-to-plac

Hi All, In the Advanced Transform task (where you can write a python script) to manipulate the data, I would like to know how, like the code task, you can return a value or string that is available to use in a later tasks.  All the help (and bots!) say it’s possible using something like return { summary: summary_text } but this needs to be wrapped in a function() I believe. The other option is to use something like #print(SUMMARY=summary_text) This get’s to the log, which is a downloadable file but I’d like to pass this into the proceeding email task.  Every variants I’ve tried still won’t show it up in the piped text dropdown. Is this possible? Thanks Rod PestellPS there is no ‘Advanced Transform Task’ tag so had to select ‘Task’!

I would only like my respondents to have the option to record audio responses (and no video) but cannot easily do this. Have you developed custom code to achieve this, and if so, would you please share it with me? Thanks in advance!!

Hello! Can someone guide me in how I upload custom font, specific by my organisation, in to the survey emails? 

Does Qualtrics have a way to export all submitted responses into PDFs? It doesn't look like there's a way within the Qualtrics itself, and I'm not sure if the Qualtrics API can support this? Edit: To clarify, Qualtrics allow for exporting individual responses to PDF - I'm looking to bulk export ALL individual responses to PDF.

Reference thread https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/83/pdf-exports-for-all-responses So I tried to write a Python script to download the PDF response reports in bulk. And I was able to create individual links to the PDF using the link format mentioned in the above thread. However it requires login into Qualtrics when opening the link in a browser, so it might need an active session and cookies? I have tried using Requests package to post my credentials, but the response I got is still an HTML page instead of PDF. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thanks!

We have some requirement to export a survey response with all answers given from an external system. I see that there is some solution for that on the UI (Data & Analysis - Actions - Export to PDF): However, we need to export responses from an external system and thus need some corresponding API. I had a look on the API reference and found the "Surveys Response Import/Export API". Unfortunately, I think this does not help in our case since PDF is not available. Does anyone know if there is a API available for the "Export to PDF" functionality? Another option I was thinking about is to have some (public) available link per response which opens the survey with the responses in the browser. But I guess such a functionality is not available as well since the PDF is genera

I have Pick Group and Rank question containing two groups. I have validation turned on with “each group contains min 1 max 1”. I want the group box to prevent adding any additional choices after 1. Currently, the group box allows more than one choice and validates when the user clicks next. I want the validation to occur when the user tries to add the second choice to the group. I want the attempted choice to bounce back to the list rather than allowing it to be added to the group box. Is this possible?  

Hi everyone, I am designing a survey where participants will be randomly assigned to three conditions: Healthy, neutral and unhealthy. Within each condition default grocery items will be pre-selected, but the participant will have free will to add, change, delete or swap items as much as they like.  I am seeking some javascript coding to add a feature that tells the participants how many items they currently have selected as they work their way through the grocery store categories. e.g if they start with 30 items in the cart as the default they will need to end with 30 items, not able to go over this limit.  However, i want the participants to know how many items they currently have selected as they select and unselect items.  Is this possible? can anyone help as i have no coding experience ? thank you so much in advance !

Hi everyone,I’m working with Qualtrics Site Intercept and running into a limitation with popup sizing that I haven’t been able to solve cleanly.The intercept loads a survey in an iframe with a fixed height. Since the survey has multiple pages with varying content (including display logic), this leads to either scrollbars or excess whitespace depending on the page.So far, I’ve tried a few approaches from the intercept side: Overriding CSS on the modal and iframe to allow auto height Forcing iframe height manually via JavaScript Triggering resize logic on intercept load Attempting to react to navigation events (e.g., Next button clicks) None of these worked reliably, mainly because the survey runs inside a cross-domain iframe, so I can’t access or measure the content height directly.Before I go down the route of implementing a postMessage solution between the

I am in need of support to program a survey that uses the Chatgpt API within survey flow to generate and display images with specified parameters (eg, topic, source, tone). We need to generate these parameters at random and store them as variables/embedded data, then use those parameters to generate images in real time in the survey. This needs to be automated because we have many parameters and hence many possible images. Alternatively, we need to be able to pull images stored in a website as a function of the parameters we randomly draw from. (It seems text only would be much easier but we need images) We have not been able to find a feasible workflow for either option so would be grateful for any ideas on how to do it or support. Thank you,c

Good day, I would like to inquire whether it would be possible to implement a Repeated Display Prevention mechanism that will apply to ALL web intercept surveys. For example, if a website contains four surveys, each with a quarantine or display prevention period set to 90 days, once a customer answers or declines one survey, all surveys including the one answered or declined would no longer appear to that customer for the next 90 days.Even better If I could utilize a JavaScript variable from the website (e.g., User E-mail) as an Embedded Data to Qualtrics and use that to quarantine the customer for 90 days.

I would like my text entry question to automatically apply dashes “-” to a 10 digit phone number as the user is typing. The code I see across the community only seems to work for the older survey layouts and not the New Survey Experience / Simple layout. Does anyone have JavaScript to automatically apply dashes while entering in a phone number? The code needs to be able to work with a phone number content restriction and forced response settings as shown in the screenshot below.  

Description Aallow users to enter the Cost using either a comma (,) or a decimal point (.) as the separator for fractional values. This change applies only at the survey level.Validation Cases •    Users must be able to enter the amount for cost using:     Allowed formats:        Decimal point: 123.45      Comma as decimal: 123,45      Commas as thousand separators: 1,000 or 1,000.00   Both formats should be accepted without error. o    Validation constraints:      Only one decimal separator (either . or ,) is allowed.      Maximum two digits after decimal.      Multiple commas are allowed for thousand separators, but the last comma can act as decimal if followed by up to two digits. o    Valid Inputs    10000 → integer      10,000 → thousand separator      10,000.00 → thousand + decimal point      00 → decimal point 

I'm currently making a survey that requires the respondents to answer multiple choice questions by choosing images. The survey has only 4 questions, and each has about 50 possible images as answers. Two of these images are randomly chosen and presented for the respondent to choose one. That was pretty easy to do, but I have a problem now: is there any way to insert the graphics as choices in a batch? I have 200 images in my library that need to go each into one choice, and I could not find a way to that all at once. I have to insert the graphics one by one, and not only is this time consuming, it is also prone to errors. Is there any way to do it automatically, even if "programatically"?Thanks in advance!

Hi everyone! I would like to collect some qualitative data (open-ended responses). Considering participants’ potential use of AI, we would like to use some code so that we can track whether participants use copy and paste for their answers? We are not trying to prevent participants from using copy and paste. Instead, we just would like to know whether participants use copy and paste or not!Thank you so much!

Hi  In the below screenshot and wording how can I reduce the spacing between these. I will share code also. ThanksSarahHow likely would you be to recommend your Insurance Company to family or friends?  Please rate on a scale from 0 to 10 with 0 being “Definitely would not recommend them" and 10 being "Definitely would recommend them".
