Add links with a URL as a variable

Hi all,

We are developing a business simulation in Storyline 2 where links to the same place are repeated in each case study. As maintenance could be an issue, we are considering to add links to variables which contain the URLs, so changing in one variable's value to a new URL will update the links across the module.

However, when adding the variable URLtest with a default text value "http://www.articulate.com" and then adding to a link as %URLtest% in the linked text, the result takes you to the address %URLtest% instead of the variable's value (http://www.articulate.com).

Any advice to do it?

Thank you in advance,

Pablo.
