How to use JavaScript to amend the text of answer choices in a MC question?

Question

So, just like the title. How do I use JavaScript to amend the text of answer choices in a MC question? It is how I setup my question:It is my code: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function(){ // Determine the current month and year var now = new Date(); var currentMonth = now.getMonth(); // Note: January is 0, February is 1, and so on. var currentYear = now.getFullYear(); // Define semester names and month ranges var semesters = ['Winter', 'Spring', 'Summer', 'Fall']; var nextSemesterIndex = 0; // Default to Winter // Determine the next semester based on the current month if (currentMonth >= 0 && currentMonth <= 3) { // Jan-Apr nextSemesterIndex = 1; // Spring } else if (currentMonth >= 4 && currentMonth <= 5) { // May-Jun nextSemesterIndex = 2; // Summer } else if (currentMonth >= 6 && currentMonth <= 8) { // Jul-Sep nextSemesterIndex = 3; // Fall } var offset = 0; if (nextSemesterIndex == 0) { offset = 1; } // Iterate through the next four semesters, including the current one for (var i = 0; i < 4; i++) { var semesterIndex = (nextSemesterIndex + i) % semesters.length; var yearOffset = Math.floor((nextSemesterIndex + i) / semesters.length); var semesterText = semesters[semesterIndex] + ' ' + (currentYear + yearOffset + offset); // Use jQuery to set the choice text // Adjust the 'QID1216589079~2', 'QID1216589079~3', etc., to target the correct choices jQuery("label[for='QR~QID1216589079~" + (i + 2) + "']").text(semesterText);});Here is a brief explanation of my code: It changes the four answer choices to the next semesters. Let say, it is now Winter 2024. Term 1 would be Spring 2024. Term 2 would be Summer 2024. Term 3 would be Fall 2024, and Term 4 would be Winter 2025.It is how the answer choices looks like after I applied the code above:Technically, it changed the labels successfully. However, the answers are no longer clickable. I have done lots of research, but I am still lost. I couldn’t even tell if it is possible to change the labels while keeping it clickable. Please, could anyone give me some advise?
