I am using a drag and drop function in an activity, and if the user hits "Submit" before dragging and dropping anything, I get an error message that says "You must complete the question before submitting." This is OK, but it doesn't really support my activity. (It's not really a question.)
Can I suppress this error? (I have my own help message appearing if the answer is empty.) Or is this error available for me to edit? (I can't find it.)
Thank you. I did find that removing the submit button did what I wanted. I had to add a different trigger to take me back to the next page, but that worked too!

Hi David! It sounds like you're using a freeform drag-and drop slide, is that correct?
First, remove all of the scoring settings in Form View:
Next, open the slide properties, and remove the Submit button. Replace it with the Next button.
Now your learners can drag the objects on the slide, but it's not required. They have the freedom to move to the next slide without dragging.
Let me know if that's what you had in mind!

Wonderful, I'm glad that worked for you!
