I want to retrieve the answer choice value from a question

Question

I am new on the plartform and I want to retrieve the answer choice value(actual text) of an option selected in a multiple choice question where you can only select a single choice, but all I get with my code is an empty string.here is my code:Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function() {    var questionID = "QID278"; // Replace with your question ID    var question = Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getInstance(questionID);                  console.log("Selected choice text: " +question.getChoiceAnswerValue());      });I also tried using question.getSelectedAnswerValue () but it gives me Null.any advise will be appreciated.

Hi @Kabo_VBUse this code instead, it will give you the selected choice text from QID278Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnPageSubmit(function() {    var questionID = "QID278";    var question = Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.getInstance(questionID);    var selectedChoiceIndex = question.getSelectedChoices()[0];    if (selectedChoiceIndex !== null && selectedChoiceIndex !== undefined) {        var selectedLabel = document.querySelector('#QID278-' + selectedChoiceIndex + '-label span');        var selectedChoiceText = selectedLabel ? selectedLabel.textContent : '';        console.log("Selected choice text: " + selectedChoiceText);    } else {        console.log("No choice selected");    }});
