Dear community,
I want to include a link to an external page in my survey (this should open in a new tab). I want to track the respondents who clicked on the link. All participants who clicked on the link should be coded with a 1. All participants who did not click on the link should be coded with a 0. In the survey flow, I have included an embedded data at the appropriate question:

Qualtrics 2.pngDoes anyone have any further suggestions for me on how I can solve the problem?

Many thanks in advance!

This is most likely being caused by the question HTML not being setup properly. Check to see if you've assigned the id extLink to your external link.
