Defining embedded variable based on answer to multiple choice question using javascript

@huu5hb Is there a reason you want to work with JavaScript? You can just add some embedded data block after the question block and assign the value to wait_yes with piped text. Click „Select a value now“ on the right side of the assignment and select the relevant question and „Selected Choices“ (screenshot is from the editor but the same menu is available in the survey flow):

If you really need to work with JavaScript, there are several threads, e.g., this one. In the JavaScript of the question in the onPageSubmit method you could place:

let sel = this.getSelectedChoices();

Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.setEmbeddedData(“wait_yes", sel);

Thanks Christian. I’m mostly interested in javascript because I have some variables that can be set by several questions in different branches of the survey. As the flow grows in complexity, it becomes harder to manager variables only there.
