`setEmbeddedData` will likely work. It will save it as a variable which shows up as a column in your data. It's kind of a catch-all solution, and is used like this: ```javascriptQualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('myVarName','myValue');```If you need it to actually be saved as a question response (usually for reporting reasons), you'll need to add a hidden question to the page and transfer the value. Depending on the question type, `setChoiceValue` would work for that.

To select a choice of a hidden question you can probably use jQuery’s .click() or there is an undocumented JS function that may work for you: Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.registry[hiddenQuestionId].setChoiceValue(choiceId, true);If it’s a text value you can simply store the value in the input before the page is submitted.
