I know this question has been asked many times, but I've researched and tried everything and for some reason this still isn't working for me - trying to assign an embedded data field called UserAge from a question getting birthday in the format MM/DD/YYYY.
1. I've set an embedded data field, UserAge at the start of my survey flow.
2. I've placed a block below with the question asking for birthday, with the following JS:
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function() {
var age = moment().diff(moment(jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText").val()), 'years');
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('UserAge', age);
});
Have also tried the different codes on this thread (and looked at other threads as well):
https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/1397/javascript-to-calculate-users-age-based-on-dob-check-age-eligibility-provide-validation-alert/p1
3. After the block, I have a "Then" branch based on UserAge (if under 18, terminate).
Am I missing anything? For some reason, I can't get UserAge to write from setEmbeddedData. Using alerts, I can see that no value is being assigned to it.
Side note - I also want to create additional variables from birthday - (1) birth year, and (2) age groups (e.g. a variable called age group with categories of 18-30, 30-50, 50-70, 70+).
Any help would be much appreciated! New to JS and survey flow programming.
Thanks!
