360 not creating new result slide variables
Hi
I am working on a project with 4 separate quizzes and graded result slides from the Journey template.
When inserting a new graded result slide (for quiz 2, quiz 3) etc. Storyline is not automatically creating the new set of variables, however, the use counts continue to increase.
i.e., Results.PassPercent, Results.PassPoints, Results.ScorePercent, Results.ScorePoints remain the only variables in use rather than a new set being created: Results.PassPercent_2, Results.PassPoints_2 etc.
Storyline is also not prompting/detecting the original/existing variable set when inserting the new result slides as one would expect.
Assistance would be appreciated.
Thank you

I have seen this a few times, often it is simply fixed by just duplication the current results slide, if that doesn't work try importing into a new project.
Hi Joshua,
Let us know if you're still stuck on this one! Have you only seen this using the Journey template, what about in a new, blank Storyline course?
If you'd like I am happy to take a look at the .story file too - or you can send it along privately to our Support team here.
I have spent days uncovering what appears to be the same issue. Each time I add a results slide it seems to reuse the variable and not increment it. I have been searching so many threads and just found this one that sounds like the same problem I am having with Articulate 360. I have a simple file I should be able to share so you can experience the anomaly for yourself.
Hi Steve
I've seen this when folks are using Content Library templates (linking this thread of testing I did this morning) - does that cover your issue as well?
Hi Steve,
I'm going to start a case for you, so you'll get an email from Support@articulate.com so keep your eyes out.
I have also been experiencing variable problems as described above. Has there been any fix released on this issue? I downloaded the latest version on 9/5/2017 and continue to have the problem. Thank you.
Hello Mark and welcome to E-Learning Heroes :)
Sorry to hear that you've run into an issue with this as well.
Are you using Content Library results slides? We did have an issue with this, which has been corrected in a previous release.
Quizzes weren't scored correctly when the same Content Library result slide was added to a course more than once. Now Storyline asks to create a new set of variables each time you insert the same result slide, resolving the conflict.
Launch the Articulate 360 desktop app on your computer and click the Update button for each application. Details here.
Please let us know if you have any questions, either here or by reaching out to our Support Engineers directly.
I know you mentioned the latest version and if you are still experiencing difficulty when adding a result slide (pretty sure it will not retro correct your variables), please reach out via the link above so that we can take a closer look.
Leslie,
Thank you for your response.
I am not using Content Library results slides.
I imported a Powerpoint and had to update the results slide from the Powerpoint version to a new Storyline version
that included logic for looping through content if the student failed the quiz.
I resolved the issue by deleting the old Powerpoint results slide and importing a new Storyline results slide from another Storyline project.
I still had to duplicate the slides in order to get the system variable to be created.
I updated all of my apps on 9/5/2017 before attempting the new Storyline project.
I am fine now but just wanted to report the incident.
Thank you,
Mark Barham
I do appreciate that Mark. Thank you for the feedback.
I experienced this issue with the Factal template. This is the seventh course that I have developed with this template and I did not experience this issue with the previous courses. I am using SL360 v 3.9.13567.0.
Hi Amma,
Do you know when the last time you tried to use that template was? I just tested it myself on the same update (I actually hadn't installed that most recent one so I did this am) and I was able to insert a few slides from the "Fractal" template. What happens when you try to insert them?
I found this thread when I searched for a solution to this issue. I have tried changing templates, adding a blank scene and inserting the new result slide. It continues to use the same variable for each result slide I put in. Is there a trick to make this create incremental variables for each new slide?
Hi, Sharrilyn.
Thank you for opening a support case! I see you're working with my teammate Lianne, so you're in great hands.
Please reach out through the case if you have additional questions.
