Hi everyone! I am creating a freeform text entry interaction, and I need to have the text entry box clear twice - and if they don't enter the correct letter two times, the slide should automatically advance to the next slide. The tricky part is that we don't want the student to have to click anywhere. I'm able to set it up where the slide advances automatically if the correct letter is input, but I can't figure out how to get it to clear and allow them to try two times. Any ideas on how to make this happen?
On how to clear the user's input after every attempt, there isn't a built-in way to do this right now, but I'll let the community chime in so other members can share how they were able to achieve a similar effect.
I'm also having this issue. The data entry text box is set to be submitted when the user hits enter. It's submitting it, however when they click try again, they have their incorrect answer in the field along with a blank line from having hit enter. I've tried adding a trigger to remove the incorrect entry (see screenshot)
and I've set the slide properties to reset to initial state when revisiting (see screenshot)
This question has been asked numerous times over the years and I did refer to post #1 and post #2 without finding an answer that works.
Setting the slide properties to "Reset to initial state when revisiting" won't work because you're not revisiting the slide; you're only hiding the Try Again layer. Try using this trigger on the Try Again layer instead:
Your project works perfectly. I copy/pasted the slide that's not working for me into a new project to send here, and it is working perfectly once it's in a new project. So now I need to figure out why when it's in my project it's working incorrectly. I think I'll send it to support to help me. Thank you Nedim!

Hello Lyndsie,
Thanks for reaching out!
If you don't want your learners to click anywhere to submit a question, you can assign a 'Submit Key' to a Text Entry Freeform Question instead.
And if you want to limit the number of attempts to 2, you can do so by setting the number of attempts here.

It works for me.
Thank you for helping! That didn't seem to work for me.
Try with my .story. See if anything is different.

Hi Tracy,
Thanks for reaching out! I see that you've opened a support case and that you are working with my colleague John Carlo. You're in great hands!
We'll continue the conversation over in your case.
