+1Hi guys,
I have the same problem as Nico_Leussink . Where is it possible to add JS to the survey flow? And can you detail what the "header" is please?
There is no solution to add the "Last Answer" as embedded data in the survey flow without JS?
Thanks by advance,
Victor
+27https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/43555#Comment_43555You can't add JS to the survey flow. Add the JS to the header (Look & Feel - General - Header (edit) - <> (source mode)).
+1Thanks a lot for your help TomG :)
Do you also have the JS code regarding the progress? (By progress I mean the time someone spend on the survey).
Thanks by advance,
Victor

+1Thanks for your help and reactivity.
I added the LastQuestion and Progress embedded data in the workflow of my surveys.
I know want to add it in the "respondent journey" in the repertory settings (see picture), but the data do not appear... Do you know why? 
Thanks again by advance,
Victor
Thank you! This is great!
Can it be done to give the user friendly question name instead of the QID?
+27https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/53264#Comment_53264Not easily. The only way to get the question label to to turn on question numbers. Then you have to hide the question numbers and extract the last question number from the question html.
You should vote for this product idea.
+4Hoping to resurrect this question to see if there’s a way to get more accurate than “It will save the QID of the last question on the last page where they clicked Next.”
Is there a way to add JS to the question itself that takes that Question’s QID and writes it to an embedded data field? The intention here is that the “LastQuestion” will constantly be updated to the actual last question they answer, even if they don’t finish that block.
Thanks in advance!

It’s not possible because nothing gets saved to the response data on the server until the Next button is clicked (i.e., the updated embedded data is only updated locally on the browser until the Next button is clicked).
One very limiting solution is to have one question per page with auto advance turned on.

You could initiative a webservice call with the state of the page everytime something is clicked. This would get you a more accurate view of where the respondent was, but it isn’t without its drawbacks.
+4Thank you, both, for the fast response! I’m thinking this should be something Qualtrics should solve for everyone, then. I know most other survey providers can provide this type of information.
I appreciate your help!
Has anyone been able to update this code to capture the last question to make it work with the Simple Layout? The code no longer works after switching to this layout type.
