Output survey responses together with current contact info

Is the embedded data of xyz value the same across all participants or unique to each participant? 

What would prompt the value change in xyz and how is the change like?

Perhaps you can consider adding an embedded data (e.g. xyzattribute) from contact list at the top in survey flow if you are sending survey invites using individualized link.

Near the survey, you can change the xyzattribute value by directly setting a value or through a formula depending on how the xyz value is changed. (e.g. $e{ e://Field/xyzattribute + 1 } )

Then, add an Update XM Directory Contacts Task in workflow to update the embedded data xyzattribute within your contact list for future survey.

​@surrogate-key ,

For this use case, I would recommend using Transaction Data rather than regular Embedded Data.

Since each participant has multiple survey touchpoints and the xyz value can change over time, regular Embedded Data may not be the best fit because the latest value can overwrite the previous value associated with the contact.

Transaction Data is designed for capturing interaction-level information at a specific point in time. Each transaction can store its own xyz value, allowing you to maintain the historical context for each survey response without updating previous responses whenever the participant attribute changes.

For example:

• Day 1 interaction → xyz = Value A

• Day 2 interaction → xyz = Value B

• Day 3 interaction → xyz = Value C

Each survey response remains linked to the correct xyz value for that specific touchpoint.

You can then export the survey responses along with the associated transaction data for analysis.

Thanks for the replies. 

The xyz value is a code that is unique to each participant, and we do capture a snapshot of this code via embedded data at the top of the survey flow. 

The issue is that there are cases where a qualitative decision is made to change the xyz code used to represent a participant, after that participant has already submitted what could be multiple responses to two different surveys. 

Ideally, we would like it if a project manager could:

1. update a participant’s xyz code in the contact directory when needed, without having to worry about changing any related survey responses, and also 
2. download a file from Qualtrics containing survey responses along with the *current* xyz code (NOT a historical snapshot) associated with the contact that created the response.

So far my impression is that generating a file ala #2 is not supported using Qualtrics tools, so we will either have to give up on #1, or we will have to generate a file similar to #2 outside of Qualtrics. Just wonder if I’m missing something.
