Assignment of elapsedTime variable

Hello all,

I have the problem that I cannot assign the variable Slide.elapsedtime to a short-answer question because the data types are different. In Storyline you can't assign elapsedTime to a text variable and vice versa I can't assign a number variable to the textentry variable.

Slide.elapsedtime -> type number
Textentry -> Text

Glad to get some hints how I can solve the problem.
