I’m trying to clean my survey data because some of the responses were recorded after Sep 30 but I want them to be a part of Q3 (Jul-Sep). How can I do this? I tried creating a new field and copied the Recorded Date but when I tried to change the date of one of the responses, the new field is not an option.

Yes, it’s possible you need to run a workflow if you don’t want to make changes in survey or publish it.

Create webservice task post survey response which updates the response recorded.

You wouldn’t be able to modify the recorded date but you can create a new embedded data field and fill those values by exporting current data and then reimporting it. 

Import Responses (qualtrics.com)
Hope it helps!

Is there a way to auto-fill it with the recorded date moving forward? This is a live survey so I’m editing a few records from the past but I want the embedded data to continuously get populated by recorded date moving forward.
