Hello Can anyone help me understand how to use JavaScript within Qualtrics? I'm trying to say "If QID1=2 then set QID2=2", but I can't work out how to write the "QID1=2" part. This is what I have so far, but how do I refer to QID1 from within QID2? They are both Multiple Choice. [Within QID2] Qualtrics.SurveyEngine.addOnload(function() { if ( ??? getChoiceValue(2) == true) {this.setChoiceValue(2, true)} }); I've been looking at the API documentation, but there are very few examples, and none on how to use it to refer to another question. Thanks, Tricia

@TriciaB,@bstrahin is close, but I'm guessing that "2" is the recode, not the label. So, I think what you really want is:```if(parseInt("${q://QID1/SelectedChoicesRecode}") == 2) this.setChoiceValue(2, true);```

@TriciaB i don't use Javascript that much but when I have I've often been able to use piped text to get the variables needed. I think you should be able to replace your line with ??? in with :if ("${q://QID1/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices}"==2)Use the piped text feature to make sure that the selected choice for your QID1 is the same.
