Hi,

You could try something like this and adapt if you have multiple languages.

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnReady(function () {

    var spans = document.querySelectorAll('#question-' + this.questionId + ' span.rich-text');

    spans.forEach(function (span) {
        if (span.textContent.trim() === 'Select one') {
            span.textContent = 'Unselected';
        }
    });
});
