I have a drop down list of possible values for one of my questions that asks for the respondents CRM vendor. I would like to get the text value of the selected answer from the dropdown list and set it to an embedded variable. My attempt looks like the below: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function () { var CRM = this.getSelectedAnswers(); Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('CRM' ,CRM); }; Of course, my code doesn't work and I assuming either my syntax or parameters (maybe both?) are wrong. Any help is highly appreciated.

> @HPowell said:> Thanks Tom. Instead of return the number of the choice, is there anyway to have it return the text? i.e. if Salesforce was choice 1 it would assign CRM variable the string of Salesforce and not the value of 1.```Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function() {Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("CRM",jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" option:selected").text());});```

Try getting selected choices instead of answers:```Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function (){var CRM = this.getSelectedChoices();Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('CRM' ,CRM);};```
