I am creating a survey on which respondents can select multiple choices from a long list of names. Each possible choice is in the format of "LastName, FirstName." I would like to show respondents a list of their selections for review before submitting the survey.
I created a static content text question using the piped text, ${q://QID2/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices}, to display the selected choices. This displays the selected choices as a long comma separated string (i.e., "LastName1, FirstName1, LastName2, FirstName2,...). I tried to custom code a function to replace the commas with line breaks using guidance provided here: https://www.qualtrics.com/community/discussion/198/how-to-change-the-separator-for-piped-text
My issue is that this replaces every comma, so, instead of:
LastName1, FirstName1
LastName2, FirstName2
...
I end up with:
LastName1
FirstName1
LastName2
FirstName2
...
Can anyone provide advice on how to replace every other comma?
Thank you so much for any help you might be able to provide.

Hello @lignecpq ,
Step1: Make a embedded data(answer) in survey flow before the question
Step2: Paste the below code in the multichoice question, "Add Javascript"(OnReady) option.
jQuery(document).on('change', function(){
var ans=[];
jQuery("input:checkbox:checked").each(function(){
ans.push(jQuery(this).parent().find("label > span").text());
});
var s="";
for(var i=0;i<=ans.length-1;i++){
s=s+ans[i]+ '<br>';
}
Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData( 'answer',s );
});
Step3: Now pipe embedded data "answer" wherever required
Thank you so much! This worked perfectly for me. I appreciate your time and clear explanation.
Hello, what should I do if I want both selected answers and text entry?
