Copy and paste the below code in your calculator step:

let inputRecord=input.record;

let newObj={};

for (let k in inputRecord.data)  
{  
newObj[k]=inputRecord.data[k].value;  
}

inputRecord.Answers = newObj;  
return inputRecord

Highlighted in the below image is the new object “Answers” that was created which contains the output/ results of the value being paired with a key.
