We have the same issue with the new "Import from Library" interface. If you navigate to an existing survey and import individual questions, they will retain their export tags. But if you import a block all the questions will be renumbered Q1, Q2, etc. Update: I discovered that when you copy a block TO the library it loses its export tags. Even if you fix them in the library block, when you import that block from the library it loses the export tags again.
You are right. This is an ongoing problem, not just in the API but also in the regular projects dashboard. If the owner/creator of a survey has not explicitly "collaborated" the survey with you or a group you are a member of, you will not be able to see it, even if you are a brand admin, or are using the API token of a brand admin. This makes it very difficult to manage the overall account efficiently, and there is no easy workaround. The more people bring this issue to Qualtrics' attention the more chance we have of a solution.
We wanted to do the same thing, trying to use text from a message library in javascript in the header of a survey or theme. We asked Qualtrics support several years ago, and they said there was no way to retrieve message library items in javascript. Only embedded data fields, like this ${e://Field/varname}. It would certainly be useful to be able to reference message library text, because of the translation capabilities. So far, looks like it's still not possible.
HI Matthew, I have had the same experience. My conclusion is that you cannot use embedded data variables in a theme. They must get loaded after the theme does. Have you checked with Qualtrics support on this yet? I would be interested to know what they said. It looks like you can use variables from the contact list, but not from the survey content?
Beware of groups however! If you set different permissions for different groups, and a person is a member of more than one group, they get the MINIMUM permission level from the LEAST of the group permissions, not the combination of all the permissions from all the groups they belong to. (That is, they get the intersection of the permissions from all the groups, not the union.)
