Capture response with Javascript

Question

I need to capture the response of text entry questions (and one single choice question) to manipulate them and then store them as embedded data. I know how to identify questions IDs and how to create embedded data fields with JS, but I don't know how to get the answers after participants submit them.
Any help is appreciated.

I manage to do it. Here is an example. Thank you @TomG for the indication.Capture text entry response and store it as embedded data.```javascriptQualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function(){/* Get current question ID (e.g. 'QID10') */var qid_01_str = this.questionId;/* console log to check what ID was capture (you can comment this line)*/console.log('Question is: QR~' + qid_01_str)// Save the current question's response value QR~QID247~TEXTvar responseTextField = document.getElementById('QR~' + qid_01_str);var currentResponse = responseTextField.value;/* console log to see what was captured */console.log('response text entry 1 is: ' + currentResponse_01)/* Assign response to ED *//* The following line creates (if it doesn't exist) or set (if already exist) an embedded data value */Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('ed_field_name', currentResponse)  });```

There are a couple of different ways to do it, but the easiest is to put your JavaScript inside an addOnPageSubmit function.
