Is there away to allow text entry fields to reset to their default, "Type your answer here..." state? Even with slides set to "Reset to initial state", the text entry fields remain populated with whatever text the user input live.
I have created a text entry question and select the "Answers are case sensitive" option and put correct answer as "Rakesh". But while I attempting the question and enter a space after "Rakesh" like "Rakesh ". If shows correct option, while it should be incorrect. So can you please let me the solution for this asap.
You should not be able to enter a space after the correct answer. Check out this sample I made, and try entering a space after "Rakesh". You'll see the incorrect layer.
Can you check to ensure you did not include a space in the "Acceptable Answers" area?
Thanks for sharing the sample. I am using Storyline 2. It is working on storyline 360. Also can you please confirm that if this is working in Storyline 3.
I have checked the flash output of storyline 3 and 360 and it is not working while it is working on html5 output. so can you please confirm this, if this is not working on swf output.
I can confirm that within Storyline 360's flash output, spaces will still be accepted as a part of the correct answers. I can share that with our team to investigate as a possible bug, but in the meantime, I'd suggest using the HTML5 output.
Not sure if this is due to the latest update, but resetting text variables to (blank) upon timeline start (slide is also set to Reset to initial state) is not working anymore. It's keeping the previously entered text upon second visit to the page. Namely on graded Fill In the Blank pages.
I don't see any reported incidents about this, so I'd love to take a closer look. If you're able to share the file through this private upload link, I'll dig into the set-up to see what is happening in Update 39!
Hi Katie i also facing the same problem as Kirby, and worse i got so many text entry data. if i using the previously entered text as the answer it will mess up all the trigger and will keep showing on top of other layer. Already pass file and report (Case # 02347523). Hope u can advice this issue quickly. Thanks in advance
That doesn't sound right! Would you mind if we take a look at the affected file to see the snag? If that works for you, here's a private upload link. We'll test out your project and share our findings!
Hi! I'm using Storyline 3 and been trying to do this.
I want to clear the input in the data entry field on Slide 1 by clicking a CLEAR button located on Slide 2.
What I did is to create a Trigger, then upon clicking the CLEAR button, it will set the value of the variable assigned to the data entry field to (blank).
Whenever I run the project, it does not do what it is supposed to do.

Sorry Salim I couldn't be of more help - hopefully others in the community have additional ideas that they could share with you here!
This nailed it thanks Kelly!
Add a variable to reset value when timeline starts. Use her file people!
Glad this older discussion still helped you out,Rob!

Hi Rakesh,
I can confirm that this isn't working correctly in Storyline 2 (the extra space is accepted as correct).
However, it is working correctly in Storyline 3, just the same as Storyline 360.

You're right, Rakesh. The extra space is accepted in the Flash output of Storyline 3 and Storyline 360, but not in the HTML5 output.
Is there a reason you need to use the Flash output, or are you able to use the HTML5 output for your course?
I'll let our team know about this issue in Flash. Thanks for bringing this up!
Its client's requirement for publish setting (Flash/HTML5). In IE its creating problem.
Thanks for your support.
Thank you so much. Your solution resolved my issue.
Glad that you were able to find the information you needed as well, Marianne.
Thanks for popping in to share and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
