Hello!
I have created a web service from which I use loop & merge to populate a text/graphic question. Basically, a single text out of a possible 300 is shown. Everything is working perfectly, except for the fact that I cannot see which of the 300 texts was shown for a given participant.
I would appreciate it if someone can tell me how I can view this information. If this is not possible, I would appreciate it if someone can tell me of another way in which I can show a single article from a list of 300 randomly and know which one was given to a participant.
Thanks!

Store the displayed text as an ED or a text entry question that is hidden.

https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/39489#Comment_39489Thanks a lot! For anyone wondering about the specifics:
-Make a text entry question in the same block
-Write the piped text in the question
-Make a default choice of 1 (or any identifier value)
-Set force response
