Drag and drop issue

Hey guys - having a Drag and Drop issue. The settings are set to: Return Item to start point if dropped outside 'any drop target', however as you can see in the image below, the drag items are being allowed to be dropped in between the drop targets.
Has anyone seen this issue before? Storyline file attached and image of error and settings below!

Hi Ant
do you need all those triggers for 'dropped' state? when it is exactly the same as the normal state. I think the form view allocation of what goes into which drop target is how it 'marks them correct or incorrect' and how the d&d options work - I may be wrong though
Maybe not! I just want to show a tick or cross next to each item when the Submit button is clicked, maybe there is a better way to do this
Hi Ant
I think If you change the option to one of the others other than 'free' I think you will find it will return items dropped outside a drop target - you'll need to test so you can see the x or tick
The problem with this, is that it drops all of the answers on top of one another, which means they cannot be read easily once in position.
Hi Ant
would another 'type' of quiz work for you - where the items are clickable and can change to the 'correct' 'incorrect' state - like this
Maybe - that's an interesting idea, do you have a live example of that? I don't think I completely understand how that would work?
Here you go.
I have created two slides quick example - first one is custom so that answers are revealed straight away, second slide is a pick many...you'd need to tidy up. On the first one you could also do a counter that tells them 'you have xx right out of xx'. Hope that helps
Thanks for the support here Wendy! Hopefully this will help Ant.
Hi Wendy - wow these are really cool, thanks so much for taking the time to send this over :) I think the first example is exactly what I need, so I will try that.
Although it is still baffling me why the original drag and drop didn't work - something to take a look at on a rainy day maybe!
Thanks again :)
Glad it will work for you Ant -good luck with your project.
Thanks for popping back in with an update Ant :)
