As the title says, can master slides have lightbox triggers? I'm not having any luck getting that to work. Also, I've run into other limitations when using Master slides so I'm wondering if there is a list of pitfalls when using them? For instance, I've had issues getting buttons to support multiple triggers (only 1 supported) on masters. The issue doesn't exist on regular content slides. Thoughts?
Thanks! I have my lightbox working from Master BUT now I'm having a different issue. The lightbox buttons have a trigger to close the lightbox and another to jump to slide. It doesn't work no matter what order I shuffle them in though. Thoughts? I've tried scenes & slides 'cause I noticed an existing thread that points out issues with jumping to scenes from lightbox.
I don't know why it is doing it, there is nothing wrong with the trigger order. The odd thing is if I preview the project it tells me I cannot view the hyperlinks even though they are jump to slides. I would report it and open a support case.

Hi Jason,
I haven't had any trouble calling a lightbox via a Master Slide trigger. Are you using the correct layout with the trigger/button/link?
I've attached a really quick example that seems to be working for me.
If you still have trouble, please let me know what other trigger you're using. Also, if you could share the .story file, I'd be happy to take a look.
Best,
Christine

Close lightbox and jump to slide is the correct order of the triggers. If your having issues can you post an example
Here's my sample. Not sure why the "jump to slides" appear in the lightbox despite the close lightbox trigger?
I don't know, I wonder if you have a corrupted slide in there somewhere, on preview it will not jump to the slide
I didn't mean to post then I built a sample that works, but apart from hyperlinks there is no real difference
Your buttons look odd in the menu they are behaving like grouped objects
ya, not sure...could be a bug I suppose. thx!

OK, I think I'll take you up on that.
