I created a freeform Pick One to accommodate multiple data entry fields on a screen.
I followed Jeanette's excellent screencast found here: //www.screenr.com/qiR8.
It works fine, but when I go to copy or import it into another Storyline, it stops working. When it's in the new Storyline, it will not give me a correct answer even though I am entering the correct numbers into the screen. I can't seem to get it working correctly once it is inserted into the new Storyline.
Does anyone know why?
I'll attach the standalone interaction that works so you see what I am doing. It's not rocket science, but I've tried everything to get it working again, to no avail.
I believe it's because when you import into a new story, Storyline duplicates the variables. But, the new Story is still using the old variables.
To illustrate this, I downloaded your story and took a screenshot of the variables. Then I imported the story into a new file and took another screen shot.
Thank you for this explanation. I hadn't noticed the duplication of the variables, even though I was looking right at them. I had tried so many things that I wasn't aware the act of importing duplicated them.
So, if I changed them to the new variables, it should work, right?
As a workaround, my colleague suggested that I import all of the screens into the file that I sent the forum, instead of importing the interaction into the new story.
And that solved my problem anyways. I don't know why I didn't think of that in the first place. Geesh,

Thanks George for updating us and I'm glad you've figured out how to get it to work!
