I am trying to set a Day of Week embedded data field based upon transaction date.Essentially, I want to map the day of week based upon a Time of Day embedded data field that is formatted like this: 2025-06-24 12:00:00In this example, the day of week would display as “Tuesday”.The Transaction Date embedded field is already set up and displaying properly in my CX dashboard.Thank you in advance!

Hi @BenB,I think your idea of removing the segmentation settings and reconfiguring could help flush out legacy settings that might be conflicting because:Field types are often linked in the backedn and removing or altering field types (like “Day of Week” or “Datetime Segment”) sometimes doesn’t retroactively clear old mappings, especially if you’ve previously tied them to widgets or filters. This can cause segmentation mismatches.Try removing the Day of Week and DateTime Segment fields temporarily from your dashboard and segmentation logic. Then re-add them without any filters, confirm if the raw values appear, and then gradually reintroduce the segmentation logic.As you suspected, not having the DayOfWeek field type correctly mapped in Dashboard Settings (under “Data Mapping”) may be at the root of it. So even if the embedded data is passed correctly, the widget won’t render if the field is not typed and linked properly.Keep us posted on how it goes!

Hi @BenB, you can try below JS:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { var transactionDate = "${e://Field/TransactionDate}"; // Format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS var dateObj = new Date(transactionDate); var days = ["Sunday", "Monday", "Tuesday", "Wednesday", "Thursday", "Friday", "Saturday"]; var dayName = days[dateObj.getUTCDay()]; Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("DayOfWeek", dayName);});Make sureTransactionDateis in a parseable format (ISO 8601 works well), and add this code to a question’s JavaScript early in the survey flow.
