Hi all,
I cannot get this to work with a real drag and drop. When I say real, I mean one that can be scored and have multiple draggable items dropped (or moved) into a drop area.
In my example I have 9 draggable objects that appear one at a time, which need to be dropped onto 1 of 3 drop areas. When dropped, the draggable state is switched to hidden and the next draggable item appears.
If I use the keyboard to move an item over the drop area, nothing happens and the 'drop' is not registered.
The only way I think I can achieve this would be with multiple triggers and variables that update when am item's motion path completes.
It seems like an awful lot of work for interactivity that I would have hoped would be included in Storyline after all these years.
So, I think I'll need to ditch the use of drag and drops and let the client know that they are not accessible.
I will try again to make this work, but I would love Articulate to make the drag and drop interaction keyboard accessible.
Thanks for reading.

I know this was built in Storyline 360, but as a future option, I wanted to let you know that we're currently working on an accessible drag-and-drop feature for Rise 360. Here's more info about it: https://articulate.com/support/article/Articulate-360-Feature-Roadmap#:~:text=Accessible%20Drag%2Dand%2DDrop%20Interactions
