Text entry variables and xAPI

Now it’s getting more complicated. The script above assumes a specific pattern and stores comments based on their index number. However, I see that your comment variables follow a different, more complex pattern, which seems harder to target. I’m concerned I might lose control over this as it becomes more dynamic. Here is updated script that we can try to target all comments based on your pattern:

var totalVars = 130; 
var people = ["Mary", "Mark"];
var responses = [];

for (var p = 0; p < people.length; p++) {
    var person = people[p];
    
    for (var i = 1; i <= totalVars; i++) {
        var varName = "Comment_" + person + i;
        var varValue = getVar(varName);

        if (varValue && varValue.trim() !== "") {
            responses.push(varName + ": " + varValue);
        }
    }
}

var jointResponse = responses.join(" | "); 
setVar("xapiResponse", jointResponse);
console.log("xapiResponse set to:", jointResponse);

This way, you can add as many names as needed to the 'people' array variable. For example, if you have variables like Comment_John1, Comment_John2, etc., the 'people' variable should be updated to ["Mary", "Mark", "John"]. Again, all variables need to follow the same pattern for this to work properly. In this case, you would not have to rename your variables. If your question name is Comment_Mary1 it will show in the statement followed by response. With this update, my xapiResponse statement would appear as:

Moreover, we could download all responses into a CSV file to make them more readable. Is this an option for you? The data could be sent to the server or processed server-side LMS, but I can't assist with that. In the example below, I used a button to download all responses in CSV format
