How to find the ID of a specific field in Qualtrics without previewing?

4.9k views Asked by At

I'm working on a survey in Qualtrics, and am needing to make certain fields readonly (I'm currently doing this via $j("#QR\\~QID186\\#1\\~14\\~1\\~TEXT").attr("readonly", true); for any IDs I know).

I'm currently getting certain IDs by previewing the survey in my browser and inspecting the element - no problem (as pointed out in their documentation). This is working for most fields, except ones with a lot of display logic on them. The display logic is taking into account previous answers and doing calculations on them - it's a little obfuscated as I don't know the content of the survey that well. So for these fields, it's incredibly tedious just to get the field to display in the first place by manipulating my input data.

It doesn't explain if it's even possible in their documentation, so it may be a long shot, but is there actually a way for me to get the ID of an element if I'm only in the "Edit Survey" section of Qualtrics, without having to preview it?

In the top right corner of the Qualtrics screen where you have your name, the drop down from that allows you to look at account settings. Once in this menu, you can select "Qualtrics IDs" in the Grey Ribbon. From there select the survey you want to examine and a separate window will pop up with all the Question IDs associated with that survey.
