I am using the below javascript to get the selected answers but this is only giving me the choice number and I want the value. How can get the value of the selected answer and not just the number?
var choices = this.getSelectedChoices ();
console.log('choices are: ' + choices);

    Loop through the selected choices and use 

    getChoiceValue
    .

    Thank you very much TomG. Could you please advise me how to get a text input from a multiple choice question that allows text input?

    https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/50516#Comment_50516I think you can use 

    getTextValue
    . Alternatively, you can get it from the DOM.

    https://community.qualtrics.com/XMcommunity/discussion/comment/50516#Comment_50516As I mentioned above, use 

    this.getTextValue(choiceid)
    .
