Storyline: Freeform radio group labels affected by timeline order and focus order
Hi MicheleBuddie,
Great to see that Leslie has been helping you!
I just wanted to pop in and share that we've released another update for Storyline 360. In Build 3.115.36688.0, we’ve included essential fixes and new features. One of the bugs we’ve fixed is:
- Screen readers announced extra text when certain question types were used.
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer to take advantage of this update, and click the Update button next to Storyline 360. You can find our step-by-step instructions here.
Please let us know if you need any additional help!
Thanks so much for taking the time to document this so thoroughly and for sharing your example.
You’re absolutely right in what you’re seeing. The current behavior ties the group label to objects on the timeline and focus order, which can make the announced label feel unpredictable and difficult to control.
We’re aware of this and have already made improvements. I tested your course, and that improvement does correct the issue you’re reporting. The update is currently in QA and is expected to be included in the next Storyline 360 release.
We really appreciate you calling this out. It’s exactly the kind of detail that helps us improve the experience.
Thank you for the reply! I'm not sure what y'all are working on in QA and testing, but I would have expected the group label text to be modified by using the Pick One object (see screenshot), but I removed that object from the focus order because modifying it didn't make any difference, and keeping it in the focus order didn't seem to make a difference either.
It would make sense to me if this is where we could put the text we want to be used for the group label.
