Hello, I would like to know if it is possible with Qualtrics to create autocomplete questions using an external data source via API? This would allow filling in non-visible variables in Qualtrics with the API. If possible, how and with what types of questions?

Hi,

You could use supplemental data sources if you can bring the data into Qualtrics or web service elements in the survey flow or in workflows.

Thank you for your response. On what types of questions can it be used? Do you have an example?

Normally, you wouldn’t use them on questions themselves, but rather on embedded data fields defined in the survey flow.
