Hi, in my new project i have a problem. i want to enable the next button only when i enter the text in the text box.

normally, i will give the trigger when in click the text box, the next button changes hidden to normal state.

(Trigger: Change the state of next button to normal, when the user click text box)

but in this project, i need to enable the next button only when i enter the text in text box (min. 3 letters).

pelase help me, if there is any option/trigger for this .

Hi Damodara,

In order for Storyline to validate the entry in the text field, the user must click somewhere on the slide outside of the text entry box - so it can be another object or a key or a button.

You may consider adding a button to the slide that "confirms" the response, and when the user clicks on it, you can enable the Next button. The example in this video sheds more light on that!
