How to track who evaluated whom in Qualtrics when using parent-child hierarchy

Unfortunately, as you’ve found, JavaScript cannot access the Org Hierarchy question’s selected value directly because it is a special question type and its data is not exposed in the DOM in a standard way. Qualtrics does not support custom scripting for this question type.

As an alternative After the Org Hierarchy question, add a standard follow-up question (e.g., a dropdown or text entry) asking the respondent to confirm or re-select the person/unit they chose. You can then pipe this value into embedded data. While not seamless, this ensures the data is captured.

Thank you for this workaround, Peeyush! I’ve tried to configure it within the survey, adding a new question right after the org-hierarchy question ( the question is “Please type the name of the employee you wish will be providing feedback for” *insert dropdown menu tied to the hierarchy*). However, when I tried to add a Piped Text to the following (new) question to bring in the chosen name, the hierarchy question is not even an option to choose from on the list. Is there another way to go about it?

ahh in that case I think it will be a feature request, I just checked FAQ, indeed this can not be used
