I used JavaScript to assign the same embedded data name (QItem) to 5 survey items.
For example, QID1:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
var itemText = "${q://QID1/QuestionText}";
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData( 'QItem', itemText );
});
QID2:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
var itemText = "${q://QID2/QuestionText}";
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData( 'QItem', itemText );
});
...
I set the embedded data in the survey flow at the beginning of the survey so that it would be exported when I download the data.
The items are randomized. Because the embedded name is the same for all 5 items, it overwrites each time. Therefore, the embedded data that is saved/downloaded is the text of the last question that is presented.
How can I rewrite this so that the embedded data that is saved/downloaded is the text of the FIRST question that is presented instead of the last?
You can try something on similar lines.
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function()
{
var itemText = "${q://QID1/QuestionText}";
if(!Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getEmbeddedData('QItem')){
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData( 'QItem', itemText );
}
// only set the value if QItem is not set
});
