Piped Text (Response ID) in URL not working

Hi all,
We are redirecting from one Qualtrics survey to another and want to be able to link both surveys by sending the Response ID of survey 1 as piped text via the URL into survey 2, where it is saved as embedded data. However, instead of saving the respective Response ID, the piped text is stored as is with ${e://Field/ResponseID}
We already tried adding ?format=urlencode , but that did not change anything. For full disclosure, the URL also includes several other embedded data fields before the piped text: https://xxx.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eJ6XtQikq6YGLBH?Source=xxx&Version=xxx&Q_Language=xx&AV=xxx&Ex_ID=${e://Field/ResponseID}
Oddly, this general approach has worked before with two different surveys. So it must be something about this specific URL, formatting, etc.
Any idea what is going wrong? We'd greatly appreciate any hints!
Thanks!
Esther

      Its possible that since ResponseID is a reserved variabled and present in every survey, the system is using the responseID of the destination survey.
      I suggest storing the ResponseID into another embedded variable like 

      source_id
      and passing that in your URL.

      Thanks for the quick response!
      The odd thing is that this has worked before with two different surveys, so it must have something to do with this specific URL or differences in formatting, etc.
      I'll add that information above.

      Qualtrics is a rolling release platform, so it's difficult to be certain where the problem lies. See if the URLs of the other surveys are still working.
