Unable to fetch the value from Static Choice and Pass in other topic

[Community Alums]

Hi All,
I need help in one use case in Virtual Agent.
I am giving one static choice to users and I am trying to store the input from that static choice then I need that value in another topic based on which I will define some conditions.
What I did:
After defining choices, I have included one script Action to store the values:

(function execute() {

vaVars.selectedCategory='';

selectedCategory = vaContext.select_topic_related_to_your_problem;

})()

After this, I have defined the topic Switcher, it is switching perfectly, then in other topic I am trying to fetch the value like this:

(function execute() {

if(vaContext.selectedCategory == 'Software and Apps')

return true;

})()

But it is saying undefined. I am attaching the image. Please Guide Thanks

Hi, 

Please try using a text step just to print if the value you passed from first topic is even moving to the second one.
