Hi I am wondering if anyone has experience using API to update values of embedded fields. I can only find insert embedded data fields API but can't find a way to update values. Any one can share their experience? Thanks.

Hello LinaS - The Update Response API can be used to update embedded data fields.

One limitation is that there is not a bulk API for this. Updates are made based on the individual responseIds.
For anyone that has found this thread while looking to update/overwrite existing Embedded Data on a survey using the API. The best solution that I have found will require a little bit of work, but involves the following steps:
- Fetch the entire flow for your given survey using the `Get Flow` API call:
- Implement your own logic to detect and copy which flow element has the Embedded Data you are looking to update/overwrite
- Make your intended edits your copy of that Embedded Data flow element
- Use the `Updates Flow Element Definition` API call to overwrite the existing Embedded Data flow with your edited copy
