Why is query string not being saved in datafile?

Question

I am linking two qualtrics surveys together. In the first survey I set SurveyID as embedded data field:

and then send that to the second survey as a querystring using the redirect URL at the end: utsau.au1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_1yKKFZlArqzb3ZY?PrevSurveyID =${e://Field/SurveyID?format=urlencode}. That bit seems to be working, because the URL to the second survey looks something like: www.myqualtricssurvey.com?PrevSurveyID =SV_2lSOqCNoaRioUSO

In the second survey I want to store the variable ‘PrevSurveyID’ and have set it up to record at the beginning

But the PrevSurveyID column is always blank in the data file :(

What am I doing wrong? It’s driving me crazy. TIA

Thank you!!! That was indeed the problem.

Not sure if the space betweenPrevSurveyID and equal to is only here in the post or is it actually present in your setup. Please check that.
