Thank you both for your replies! I believe it was a combination of the suggestions added here that finally made it work. I piped the value directly within the text question in this format: $e{ q://QID155/ChoiceNumericEntryValue/1 + 2 }I used the ‘Sentence’ piped value as before, kept the initial structure of the embedded data in the survey flow, and added a page break between the two questions. Thanks very much for your help here!
@omkarkewat Thank you! Unfortunately TotalSum doesn’t work either. Not sure why.I attached the piped text options that are showing up for me. I previously piped the “Sentence” one as that appeared to be the numerical value entry.
@omkarkewat I attached the embedded data, as well as the 2 questions involved. The first one is asking participants for their initial sentence in years, and for the second one it’s supposed to show their answer + 2.
@omkarkewat Thank you! I used the correct syntax this time (also, the math operations support page is quite useful in this sense). However, now only ‘2’ is displayed, so the numeric entry value was not picked up from the slider question.
@Radam Thank you for your support with this. However, we managed to find the issue.Turns out a completely different project had a very similar email trigger, which did not produce the embedded data. Overall, nothing was actually wrong with the project we thought had issues.
@Radam There are multiple individual links in different languages - all have the same information - at the time, this was an easier option for us. However, each is connected to the same e-mail trigger in the “message library”. The Q_Language embedded data that Qualtrics has stores the correct language from each link and then displays the email message in the correct language. Each link has the same embedded data, which is correctly generated and stored within the embedded data field: ${e://Field/Temporary_Code}. As the email message is from the library it is translated using the “Translation” section and we checked to make sure that the embedded data field (${e://Field/Temporary_Code}) is correct in each, as I knew it might have been accidentally removed when translating the email from English into the other language. However, both English and the other language had the exact same embedded data field piped text, meaning that they both should be displaying the correct embedded data. As
@Deepak Apologies for the delay in responding. That is such a simple solution. I was definitely overthinking with something technical.Thanks for your help!
Hi @Nanditha MM . That sounds exactly like what I am looking for, though I was not able to find any bulk edit option on the block’s three dots for editing.
See the bit in red. Question name - I want to change a batch of them at once.
No, as in the question names of a block.
Thank you @TomG and @ArunDubey for your suggestions. What do you mean by external database?
It worked, thank you so much!
Thank you for your reply. I think I need to clarify my point a little more. We already have a way of generating random codes that are presented to participants and are stored as embedded data. However, this random generation has the possibility of producing duplicates. We are, therefore, looking to have a system in which we know exactly which codes are going to be generated. This will prevent duplicates in the future. Would it be possible to add in a mathematical equation to the code so that it is generated in a sequence (i.e. increments in 7’s), whilst also keeping the same code format (B followed by 8 digits = 9 character code)? Plus, is it possible for the system to know what code was generated before so that the correct number in the sequence can be given? Keeping the format of the code is the important bit.I apologise if my choice of words is not too clear, I am not too familiar with the technicalities of coding.
Thank you for your help. :)
Thanks TomG. If the files were corrupted, none of them should work? Most of the time, the clips do work for people. I mention the number as some time ago there was an issue happening slightly more often with the audio clips not playing after a specific number of trials. I contacted Qualtrics support who suggested that Google Chrome had changed the number of pre-load clips and to switch to FireFox. We recently switched back as this issue seemed to have stopped, with FireFox experiencing a few issues.
Thank you for your reply TomG . We do use mp3 files all the time for audio files. Could the number of files embedded in a survey have any impact too? We have quite a few included (>80), which, as I mentioned, only seem to be problematic for some people. We have found that some people using Safari on a Mac experience issues more than Google Chrome users on Windows.
Thank you for your response TomG !I understand now, and it works! Thank you so much. Thank you for the advice re the image sizes. However, as this is for research, we have the images set to a specific size so that all participants see the same size image when on a computer, regardless of screen size, to avoid giving any participant the potential advantage over another by simply having a larger screen.
Hi TomG ,Update: I have been implementing this, but changed it to JS rather than HTML. It works perfectly for the first trial. However, when I copy and paste the same JS code to each other question that needs it, it no longer works, and the image is displayed until a response is selected. Is it fixed for that first question only, or should it be running for each?Thank you.
Sorry TomG, I just have one more question re this (I am not 100% used to using HTML). Below is a snippet of the HTML with the actual URL removed. However, it does not go after 5 seconds.I should note that the image is accompanied by text both before and after the image. Would this also have an impact on this working?
TomG As always, you are a lifesaver! Thank you so much for your help!
Hi, Thank you for your help!Unfortunately, I have tried this already and because the landing page is a referenced block, it will not let me delete or hide any language. However, do you know if there is a maximum number of languages that can be added in one survey link?Thank you again!
Thank you Deepak I shall take a look and see if this helps!
Thank you Deepak! I found the issue in the "Style" settings of the look and feel option on my surveys and corrected the mistake. Works perfectly now!
Thank you, TomG ! One of the ones I did not think to add in.
That is amazing Tom_1842 ! Thank you for your help and clarification on this!
