Javascript syntax to loop picking up values from previous question

I’m trying to loop through various variables from a previous side by side question to include as values in a matrix question.

I’m using the code below. The commented out line works when there is just one value to include, but doesn’t work when I try and add loop using  “/ + i + “. Is there syntax that does work/ another way of doing this?

n.b. I’m not using piping as there will be hundreds of values

for (var i = 1; i <= 3; i++) {

//var previousValue = "${q://QID182#1/ChoiceTextEntryValue/1/1}";
var previousValue = "${q://QID182#1/ChoiceTextEntryValue/1/" + i + "}";

    jQuery("#QR\\~QID183\\~" + i + "\\~1\\~TEXT")  // Target row i of new question
        .val(previousValue)  // Set the value from the previous question
        .trigger("input")    // Trigger an input event to update the field
        .trigger("change");  // Trigger a change event to notify of the change
}

Thanks
