Both the problems can be solved using update response API. (We can use this for bulk update too)
Also if you distribute the survey through a contact list and if we update those contact list then having an embedded data by same name in survey also gets updated
Yazad_7 Just wanted to jump in here and mention that after a survey is distributed to a contact list, if someone takes the survey the embedded data captured within the survey is static unless it is manually edited in the Data & Analysis tab.
Any changes to the contact list will not be reflected in the survey data unless the embedded data is explicitly updated prior to the participant opening the survey!
MaiaH I know you responded to this issue a while ago, but is there any chance that the ability to refresh prior respondents' embedded data has been considered for a future update?
Yes! We just released a free Chrome extension that solves exactly this problem: Qualtrics API Toolkit by Pirai AI
✅ No-code solution - designed specifically for non-technical researchers
✅ Upload a CSV with responseId + your embedded data fields
✅ Validates everything before processing
✅ Tracks progress in real-time
✅ Simple point-and-click interface
It uses Qualtrics APIs under the hood but you don't need any coding skills. Just search "Qualtrics API Toolkit" on Chrome Web Store.
Would love to hear if it works for your use case! And if you find it helpful, please share with others who might need bulk updates. 🙂
