Just checking if anyone has tried this before I run it by Support. I'm trying to pipe the organization name that the respondent represents, which is in my contact list, to the header of a survey that uses an Admin theme. I know this can be done in headers that are set in the Look & Feel at the survey level, but I can't see to get it to work when I use the same code in the header of an Admin theme; it just displays the code instead of the value. Are there any Admin users out there who have tried to do this?

Hi ikraut ,
Thanks for your message. Due to time constraints I elected to use a work-around and did not submit the issue to Support. I came to the same conclusion that you did, that it's just not possible to do this in an admin theme.

Thanks Appzk!
I think we may be not be doing the same thing. Are you a Brand admin? I have been able to pipe data into a header from the Look & Feel menu, which I think is what you did in your example above. But when I use the same code in the header in a Theme set at the Admin level, just the code displays in my survey, not the piped data.

HI Matthew, I have had the same experience. My conclusion is that you cannot use embedded data variables in a theme. They must get loaded after the theme does. Have you checked with Qualtrics support on this yet? I would be interested to know what they said. It looks like you can use variables from the contact list, but not from the survey content?
