Historical Survey response Update

If the goal si to have it shown properly only in the dashboard, you could also simply recode your old value to the new one or vice versa. Example #ABC could be recoded as ABC so it would appear as the same. 

Do you mean recoding in the Dashboard Data? I’m not sure that would work well—are you referring to this section?

yes. You can do it manually if you do not have a lot of possibilities or you can import recodes as your screenshot suggests.

Otherwise, you also have this API call that can be use to batch update your embedded data : https://api.qualtrics.com/2ced5de7dc638-start-an-update-embedded-data-job

For example, in the current situation we have multiple values such as “#ABC” to “ABC”, as well as “#DEF” to “DEF” etc etc

My concern is that while we could potentially recode these values in the dashboard, this would only impact the visualisation layer and not the underlying data used for access restrictions.

At the moment, access is already configured based on values like “ABC” for certain users. However, additional users now require access to both “ABC” and “#ABC”, since they represent the same thing

Because of this, I don’t believe dashboard-level recoding would be sufficient, as it wouldn’t resolve the access control issue.

This is why I was considering an API-based (e.g., Postman) update to standardise the values at the data level (e.g., converting “#ABC” to “ABC”), so that both reporting and access restrictions remain consistent.

Could you please confirm if this is the right approach, or if there is a better way to handle this?

Thanks for sharing this.

I’ve gone through the API documentation, but I’m not entirely clear on how to implement the batch update for embedded data in this case.

Would you be able to guide me through this step‑by‑step, or point me to an example of how it can be used for updating values. That would be really helpful.

Okay this is great Thank you so much but what if I have like 2000 survey responses? Is there any way to do that all together?

not that i know of.

genera un excel con los datos que deseas actualizar. 

la primera columna debe tener el IDResponse en una columna colocas el valor viejo y en otra al valor nuevo . guardas el archivo excel a json. y ese sera tu endpoint para que la API tome los datos desde ahi para actualizar los 2000 respuestas.
