Hello @CameronBudd ,



Assuming your "free text question" is in new page(not on same page drop down question)

Also the drop down has the option exactly in this order/pattern - Last, First - Email

Paste the following code in the js(OnReady) of the "free text question"



var s="${q://QID52/ChoiceGroup/SelectedChoices}";

jQuery("#"+this.questionId+" .InputText").val(s.split("- ")[1]).attr("readonly",true);



Note: In the above code change the piped text with your question ID. Also make sure the drop down option has space after -(hyphen) and then the email.

Hey @CameronBudd! In the future, be sure to use "@" to tag and notify members if you have any follow up questions to ask!
