Recording data from Multiple choice question answer text to embedded data

Question

I am new to Qualtrics so this likely has a simple solution however I am having trouble finding one that works. What I am looking to do is rather simple, present the user with their answer in a later text block. Specifically I am looking to save the option text for the answer the user selected into embedded data. Here is what I currently have, which gives me the code of the answer but I am looking for the option text:Q284    let selectedRecode = this.getChoiceRecodeValue(this.getSelectedChoices());    Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("ans", selectedRecode);This is what I am trying but is not working:Q285    let selectedanswer2 = this.getChoiceAnswerValue(this.getSelectedChoices());    Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData("ans2", selectedanswer2);Eventually I present the answer in test like this:Q286This was your answer:${e://Field/ans2}Please let me know if I am missing anything. Thank you!

@hchaudharyYou don’t need to use embedded data, just chose piped-text →Question and you can show the selected choice of the previous answerHope this helps

@hchaudharyfor the code I think just “this.getSelectedChoices()” should work and as you’re getting it’s recode you’re getting the recode. Remeber to use it onpageSubmit to function better,but as @dxconnamnguyensaid, just use pipe-in and it should be good without any javaScript.
