How to find text of select box with given any option on presubmit event?

Hi,
My datatables editor form has a select box 'sBox' and I am listening to its 'change' event like below
$('select', editor.node('sBox')).on('change', function () {
console.log('on change -> '+editor.get('sBox'));
//The console prints value of the item I select.
});
I am listening to the presubmit event like below:
editor.on('preSubmit', function (e, o, action) {
console.log('on presubmit -> '+editor.get('sBox'));
//The console prints value of the item I select.
editor.create(false).set('personName', editor.field('sBox').input().find({option:selected}).text());
//where person name is a hidden field defined on editor.
}
However, the personName here does not correspond to the value that was selected.
The personName value corresponds to the value that was initialized at the time of creating the editor.
I tried using the below code to get the text of value that was selected after the 'change' event. But I get the same results.
editor.create(false).set('personName', editor.field('sBox').input().find('option[value="'+editor.get('sBox')+'"]').text());
Is there something that I am missing?

I put in more console.log statements in this code, and see that
editor.field('sBox').input().find('option[value="'+editor.get('sBox')+'"]').text()
pulls out the correct text against the given option value, but the problem is that it is not being set to the personName hidden field.
I tried appending submit() at the end like below, but still does not work.
editor.set('personName', editor.field('sBox').input().find('option[value="'+editor.get('sBox')+'"]').text()).submit();
I tried putting the below option on editor definition, but no difference:
formOptions : {
main : {
submit : 'all'
}
},
