Hi there,

I've set up a study with two parts; Part 1 is a survey in Qualtrics and Part 2 is a GNAT in Inquisit Web 3. In my pilot test, I followed the instructions for both packages to link between them, using a unique code that the participant entered in Qualtrics, which was carried over to Inquisit as a query parameter and recorded as part of the file name. This worked perfectly, but after changing some details after the pilot study, its no longer working.

I'm not sure where the problem lies. Some clues which might assist with working out the problem:
1. The code length should be 6 characters long (alphanumeric), yet Inquisit is recording an 8 digit code, which is always 11111111
2. When I use the piped text for the participant code by itself (not added to the end of the web address), it returns the code that I previously entered. So, the piped text itself is working as expected.
3. The modified launch URL for Inquisit looks like this (with the query parameter added) to the end: 
http://research.millisecond.com/ianrt/1BATCHtestfile.web?Participantcode=${q://QID181/ChoiceTextEntryValue}
4. If I go through the survey myself and enter the code 'TEST14' this is what the forwarding URL looks like:
5. When I click through to Inquisit, this is what the URL looks like:

So, although the embedded data seems to work in Qualtrics and is dynamically attaching the participant code at the end of the URL for Inquisit, Iinquisit does not seem to be receiving that information.

Does anyone have an idea of what might be happening? I'm stumped, given that it worked perfectly last time. I've probably missed a minor step along the way but I can't work out where I've gone wrong.
