Trying to assign multiple values to the same Embedded Data field across multiple branches. Doable?

Question

I have a check all that apply question asking what region someone is located in. Then for each region, I assign contact information that is region-specific via branching and Embedded data. However, if someone selects multiple regions I would like the contact info for both regions added to the same ED separated by a comma. Does anyone know if this can be done without custom coding?

Depends on how many options you have. The brute force way could be this:v2 now has the value Second Value, First Value. You could create a branch for each option and append the contact info. Another approach could be to use Loop & Merge (LM). This takes less time, but give a dirty solution with extra commas:Step 1: You start with a Pre-LM block, where you ask your question.Step 2: You create a loop and merge block, selecting loop off a question and the required values in the second field.Step 3: You use the second field as the question text and use the TRUE-FALSE display logic to not show the question to the respondent.Step 4: You use piped text to pass all the possible values to another question text. Once again hiding it.Step 5: You assign the value of this question text to an embedded variable. Demo here. Point to not: If you try to set the embedded variable directly skipping step 4. You'll end up with repeated values.
