How do I get the selected answer text of a multiple choice question and set it as an embedded data field

Question

So let’s say I have a multiple choice question with answer choices of 1, 2, 3, 4 And I want each of the different answers (as well as null) to be mapped to a embedded data field ‘Answer’ Selecting 1 would set Answer = Alpha, 2 would set Answer = Bravo, etc…What is the easiest way to accomplish this?this.getSelectedChoices('QID3') supposedly returns an array, how do I pull out the actually selected answer from that array? Feel free to point me at documentation but my google fu is currently too poor to find the correct documentation. Thanks in advance

@hfchenThe easiest way is using embedded data block in survey flow with branching condition:https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/survey-flow/standard-elements/embedded-data/#SettingValuesInTheSurveyFlowIf you still want to use JS,use index like normal array.Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnUnload(function(){var selectedChoicesarray = this.getSelectedChoices('QID3');var selectedChoicesnumber = selectedChoicesarray[0];console.log(selectedChoicesarray);console.log(selectedChoicesnumber);});
