and I've added an embedded variable, var1, at the beginning of the survey flow.
!
Using the following JS code, I am not able to successfully update var1.
!
The call to 'alert' shows this empty/un-updated value of var1.
!
I've followed what other folks have commented here: https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/1928/setting-embedded-data-using-javascript but I have not been successful.
Thank in advance for your feedback and input!Best answer by iboafra

This scenario proves that I can access the declared and initialized var1 variable (in addOnUnload function), however, it's the call to updating the embedded variable (in addOnload function) that is not working :(
I'm expecting that tmpVar2 would have a value of 100 after the call to Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('var1', '100');
```
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
var tmpVar1 = "${e://Field/var1}";
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('var1', '100');
var tmpVar2 = "${e://Field/var1}";
alert('addOnload:\\ntmpVar1 = ' + tmpVar1 + '\\ntmpVar2 = ' + tmpVar2);
});
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function()
{
/*Place your JavaScript here to run when the page is fully displayed*/
});
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnUnload(function()
{
var tmpVar = "${e://Field/var1}";
alert('addOnUnload, tmpVar = ' + tmpVar);
});
```
