I recently ran a survey that included an experiment where I piped in the options using custom code. This involved javascript, custom loop & merge fields, and setting embedded data (as one would for a conjoint). Through this combination, respondents saw candidate profiles with different values for two fields: age, and disability. In order to analyze the experiment, I need to be able to see which values respondents saw for these two fields.

The problem is that the names of the fields in loop & merge and the names of the embedded data fields did not exactly match. My embedded data field names were choice.1.1_age1 and choice1.1_age2, and my loop and merge field names were choice1_age1 and choice1_age2. As a result, when I export the data, the choice1.1_age1 and choice1.1_age2 variable fields are blank. I cannot see which values respondents saw when taking the survey.

I contacted Qualtrics, and they said they don’t support custom code. I’m pretty resigned to having to redo this, but I wanted to see if anyone had any tips on how to retrieve information about what respondents saw when they took the survey before I give up.
