Issue capturing data generated within Loop & Merge iteration in export | XM Community
Skip to main content

I am having trouble capturing data that is generated and defined within each iteration of a Loop & Merge block in Qualtrics and getting it to appear in my exported survey results.

Here's my setup:

  • I have a Loop & Merge block that iterates multiple times (up to 40).
  • Within each iteration, I am using JavaScript to generate and set the values of several variables (e.g., condition, rand, exemplarNumber, etc.) as Embedded Data fields.

My goal is to have the values of these variables for each iteration included in the exported data, ideally as separate columns or in a structured format.

Here are the methods I have already tried without success:

  • Defining fields in the Loop & Merge settings and trying to populate them (I couldn't get these to print in the export).
  • Using hidden Text Entry questions within the loop to store the values (this didn't work as expected).
  • Concatenating the values into a single Embedded Data field (this is hard to analyze).
  • Trying to use Qualtrics validation to capture the data (this doesn't seem to be the right tool).
  • Using JavaScript within the loop to create a JSON object of the iteration data and save it to a single Embedded Data field (this also did not work for me).

The variables are being generated and set as Embedded Data within each iteration. I need a reliable way to get these values into my exported data for each iteration.

Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
