title: Editing Qualtrics Survey and applying changes to previous responses
body: <p>I created a Qualtrics survey using Loop and Merge - our data collection is over and I'm finding it very challenging to get the data in a format that works for our analysis.</p>
  <p>To help make this easier, I am trying to add in questions that carry forward from a previous response. However these changes aren't being applied to the surveys that have already been taken.</p>
  <p>For example, I'd like the name of the organization (which is answered in block one) to be copied and carried forward into a future block that is on loop and merge. I have successfully created a new question in the Block that is on loop and merge, however when I download the existing data, those answer choices are not carried through.</p>
  <p>It here a way to apply the survey changes to the data that has already been entered without &quot;retaking&quot; each survey?</p>
  <p>Alternatively - if any one knows how to get the loop and merge survey data to a longer format while retaining data that is not part of the loop and merge - that would also be very helpful (I'm using R to clean my data and so far all my solutions are a bit cumbersome. )</p>
