Referencing previous question answer choice for conditional embedded data using javascript

Hi adstr_bepp,
Could you not just set the Q2 text entry as embedded data every time (ie; don't check Q1 at all, as it is taken care of via display logic)? If Q2 is empty, it won't write anything to the embedded data.
If not, you should be able to do something like this:
var x = "${q://QID1/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices}"; //replace QID1 with relevant question ID

if(x == "New Partner") {
var partner = jQuery('#' + this.questionId).text();
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData('My_Data', partner);
}
May need some tweaking but that's the general gist.
Good luck!
