MSobotta, I did answer the question. I said that I am able to see the embedded data being piped through when I use ANY OTHER VALUES, such as you did above. For example, I tried setting the embedded data as the "Question Text" from the prior questions, piped through. The ONLY TIME it's not working is when I'm trying to pipe through the "Selected Choices" from the previous questions, and I know it's because of the FORMAT of those choices (e.g., ```<span class="choiceText">Afghanistan</span><span class="pipeText">Afghan</span>```). What I'm asking is how to RE-FORMAT the selected choices via JavaScript so that they can be used as VALUES for the embedded data and I can RETAIN the ".pipeText" part (e.g., "Afghan" while deleting or hiding the ".choiceText" part (e.g., "Afghanistan"). Your example above is just showing you assigning some values to embedded data and then piping them into a question, which is not at all the extent of what I'm trying to do. I'm trying to
I tried setting the embedded data to the "question text" for each of the prior questions and it works. So what this means is that it's the formula of the selected choices that is causing the problem. In other words, it appears as if I cannot set embedded data consisting of selected choices from prior questions when those selected choices are in a format such as mine (e.g., ```<span class="choiceText">Afghanistan</span><span class="pipeText">Afghan</span>``` for "AfghanistanAfghan", which I hide the .choiceText from the first part of the text so that it displays as "Afghan"). Is there something that can be done about this? Can I use JavaScript to first delete the .choiceText part, show only the .pipeText part, and then turn the format of the .pipeText part into a regular string instead of its current format? Or would adding something to the selected choices within the survey flow's embedded data work?
MSobotta, as I mentioned above, the answer to that is in my other posts 😀 The embedded data comes from multiple questions, yes, and I need to use the embedded data route because I have to remove duplicates from the responses to the prior questions.
I've spent so many days on this. For the life of me, I cannot figure it out! I tried out my code https://jsconsole.com/ with ["a","b","b","c","d","d"] and console.log instead of Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData and it works: I constructed the array, de-duped it with Set, and then put it in a loop that sets the embedded data. I also set the embedded data in the survey flow. But I'm still ending up with nothing in the preview. The green block of embedded data in the survey flow is set before the whole block of questions involving embedded data and the question I'm referencing comes in the middle of the question block. Does that matter? Pretty please, I could use some help! ! ! ! ! UPDATE: I'm certain now that it's something to do with how I set the embedded data and that I've isolated where the problem is occurring, though I still can't solve it. When I take out ALL JavaScript and just use survey flow to create embedded data with the response choices from the prior questions (
Thank you so much for the hint! I changed the arguments for the setEmbeddedData. I also changed the names to country1, country2, country3, etc., in both the survey flow and the code. Based on this link https://medium.com/dailyjs/how-to-remove-array-duplicates-in-es6-5daa8789641c and others I looked up, I thought that the code above it created an array and then de-duped and returned the de-duped array, but I guess that is not the case. I'll hunt some more and try more things and see what I can do. Don't know how to de-dupe or do "for loops" yet, but I'll continue trying 😀
Hi, Tom. I wrote the script but it's not working, so it might be incorrect. Either that, or I may misunderstand what you're recommending? As you'll see in the final image, nothing is showing up. ! ! ! !
Additional problem now: when someone chooses the same response to more than one of the questions (participant's own place of birth, place of residence, and place of citizenship, as well as parents' and grandparents' places of birth: all Afghanistan), the piped responses are all the same (Afghan, Afghan, Afghan....) rather than just displaying the piped response once (Afghan). Unfortunately, I cannot use display logic to only show a response when it is not the same as another response (unless I maybe use it for all countries in the list, which would take forever: display if response to the first question is Afghanistan and none of the responses to the remaining questions are Afghanistan, same for Germany, etc.). See below. Suggestions? ! !
TomG, you're amazing. Worked like a charm. Thank you very, very much.
Oh, I'm sorry: I misspoke. I do have "IS NOT SELECTED." The red circled area is where I chose "I don't know" on one of those previous questions and while the words "I don't know" are not displayed, as you can see, the row still is. See below ! !
I'll try to give more info below. Question 1: "What country were you born in?" (Multiple Choice, Single Response) Choice 1: `<span class="choiceText">Afghanistan< /span>< span class="pipeText">Afghan</span>` (appears as AfghanistanAfghan) All the way to `<span class="choiceText">Zimbabwe</span><span class="pipeText">Zimbabwean</span>` (appears as ZimbabweZimbabwean) Javascript on Question 1: ``` Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { jQuery(".pipeText").hide(); }); ``` Questions 2-6: "What country was your mother/father/maternal grandmother/maternal grandfather/paternal grandmother/paternal grandfather born in?" (Same question type, choices, and Javascript as Question 1, with the exception of "I don't know" as an added choice) Choice 1: "I don't know" Choice 2: `<span class="choiceText">Afghanistan</span><span class="pipeText">Afghan</span>` All the way to `<span class="choiceText">Zimbabwe</
Hm. The same error is still appearing after I removed both of those parentheses. Is this because I haven't assigned a value to "cell"? What value should I be assigning to "cell"?
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { /*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page loads*/ if ('${q://QID88~93/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices}'= ‘I don't know’) {jQuery(("#QR~"+this.questionId+"~"+cell).replace(/~/g, "\\~")).closest("tr").hide();} jQuery(".choiceText").hide(); }); Error: "Invalid left-hand side in assignment." Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? Am I missing a period or a parenthesis somewhere? Also, I need the choiceText part to address something else from another question. (The choices being piped in to this question need parts of them hidden: MexicoMexican ("choiceText""pipedText") is piped in, for example, and I need to hide the choiceText (Mexico) and display only the pipedText (Mexican).
I got it. Thanks so much, TomG!
Thank you so very much, TomG! I think I understand. I'm to list all the demonyms next to the countries within the same answer choices but hide them using that code. That way, they will be choosing the demonym associated with the country at the same time. Then I can pipe in their choices into the next question and this time, hide the countries with the code and show the demonyms. I'm unsure if the code goes into the "Add JavaScript" section of the overall question or if I write it directly into the answer choice itself, but I'll play around and try both. One quick additional question: with what question type can I do this? I currently have Drill Downs for the country choice questions, which I don't think allows for this. I hate to do Single or Multiple Answer Multiple Choice question types because they look bad to respondents, so if not the Drill Downs, I would prefer Dropdown Lists (Multiple Choice question type), Select Boxes (Multiple Choice question type) or Likert or Profile Drop
