Hello,I have a situation where respondents can select multiple responses to Q1 (a list that could have up to 100 possible options). I then want to narrow the selected list down to 5 random options and assign these 5 responses to some embedded variables, for later use. So that I can make sure these random 5 options are evenly distributed amongst the total sample, I’m utalising the 'Advanced Ramodization' feature to select my 5, but I’m not sure how to then extract the 5 selected options into the relevant embedded variables.My current thinking was to use the following script, but it isn’t working…Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { // Retrieve selected options from the advanced randomization var selectedOptions = this.getSelectedChoices(); // Store the selected options in embedded data elements for (var i = 0; i < selectedOptions.length; i++) { var embeddedDataName = 'SelectedOption_' + (i + 1); // Name for embedded data element (e.g., SelectedOption_1, SelectedOption_2, etc.) Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData(embeddedDataName, selectedOptions[i]); }});Can anyone advise where I might be going wrong and how I could get this to work? Thanks.

FYI: I found my previous script was adding a space to the start of the the selected choices it was extracting from the earlier question, so adding a ‘trim’ function to the working help resolve some of my troubles.Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { var selectedOptions = "${q://QID3/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices}".split(","); for (var i = 0; i < selectedOptions.length; i++) { var embeddedDataName = 'SelectedOption_' + (i + 1); var trimmedOption = selectedOptions[i].trim(); Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData(embeddedDataName, trimmedOption); }});Thanks.

It should work if placed in addOnPageSubmit.
