WebService task returns all values in one field - How do I separate them? | XM Community
Skip to main content

I am working on creating a workflow to pull data into Qualtrics using a WebService Task. This task pulls the information over successfully, but all the information is in one field

Example of the input to the CodeTask:

This is the input into the Code Task when the workflow is run. I cannot figure out the correct javascript for the Code task to separate all the fields like below so they can be mapped into the feedback survey:

THIS IS NOT FROM THE ABOVE DATA BUT A DIFFERENT DATE SO THE VALUES WILL NOT MATCH.
