Default Selection in Highlight Question

Hey!

I want to show respondents a Highlight Question they already answered again, but also display them with the selection they made the first time to reconsider them. Is there a way to have a default category selection in a highlight question in Qualtrics? My hunch was to extract the first selection and have a JavaScript to highlight the selection again. My current JavaScript (below) is not working:

    var questionID = 'QID273';
    
     // Replace 'Option1', 'Option2', etc. with the values of the options you want to select by default
    var defaultOptions = "${q://QID39/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoicesForAnswer/1}";
    
    // Get the question element
    var questionEl = this.getQuestionContainer();
    
    // Loop through each default option
    defaultOptions.forEach(function(optionValue) {
        // Find the checkbox corresponding to the default option
        var defaultOption = questionEl.querySelector('label[for="' + questionID + '_' + optionValue + '"]');
        
        // If the default option exists, select it
        if (defaultOption) {
            defaultOption.click(); // Click the label to select the checkbox
        }
    });

Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
