Evaluations: Likert-scales.
Recently, I’ve created a few 5-Likert scales surveys. However, when we collected the data, the LMS reports the Likert scale responses in a string format similar to how it communicates with Storyline. For example:
"Mehdi answered: I found the training meaningful. (6LlMdhkEJK2)"
It doesn’t show the actual value selected by the respondent, whether it's 1, 2,3 etc. I’ve tried publishing using both SCORM and APIx, but the issue persists.
Have you encountered something similar before? Any ideas on how to retrieve the actual selected values?

This is expected behaviour for liker questions they never really give any valuable information.
Mehdi: Consider using Pick One Survey slides instead of the Likert scales. The drawback to this is that it limits you to one question per slide. But it'd give you better data.
Note: It'd be possible to set up two 5-option-scale questions using a Pick Many Survey slide, because those allow up to 10 options. But those slide use checkboxes instead of radio buttons. User-interface standards call for radio buttons when the user can only select one option and checkboxes when the user can select more than one. Since the user should only be able to select one option per question, having checkboxes goes against the standards. This would also require extra programming to ensure the user selected something in each row.
I have tried that too but I still find the same way of reporting
