Is is possible to add an essay question into an existing slide? I know that I can add data entry points and text entries through the freeform entry, but I need to have an essay question so that participants can press "enter" WITHOUT it submitting the information and advancing to the next slide. From what I have read there is not way to disable the "enter" button on text entries unless it is on an essay question.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks!
As you'll see in this tutorial, you can use the enter key, if the data entry box is large enough to accommodate multiple lines of text:
Here's how Storyline handles that:
If the data-entry field is tall enough to accommodate more than one line of text, the Enter key will add a line break (return), so the user can start a new paragraph. For example:
If the data-entry field is only tall enough for a single line of text, the Enter key will assign the user's response to the variable. In other words, it will submit the user's response. For example:
If you'd like the Enter key to always submit the user's response, regardless of the size of the data-entry field, add another trigger to the data-entry field that adjusts the variable when the User presses a key, and specify the Enter key.
