I created a drag and drop base layer and wanted to add another layer that used the same drag and drop features. However, when I did add the layer and went to the form view the ability to drag and drop was not there. I tried to duplicate the base layer but that did not work either. Is this a task that can be done?
The built-in Storyline question types only work on the base layer of slides, not on slide layers.
Could you set up your drag-and-drop questions across multiple slides, and use the built in functionality of submitting the two questions at once as detailed here?
I have attached two of the drag and drop slides. The problem is that I am solving a two step inequality in steps. I was hoping that I could just put one example on a base layer slide and allow the user to continue to interact with the process step by step still using the drag and drop interaction. I was trying not to have but so many slides since I have three examples.

I'd say you've got the right set-up using separate slides instead of layers, since you can't put a drag-and-drop quiz on a layer. If you're concerned about a long list of slides in your menu, you can remove certain slides from the menu to make it seem as if you're using layers.
I just tried to use multiple layers in A360 for a drag and drop with multiple layers (3 questions on 3 layers) and it "sorta" worked but was buggy. It looks like it should be a good idea but I'm going to have to go with multiple slides since I can't pass a buggy product on to my customer.
The question types are set up to only be an option on the base layer. If you're using a custom set up to create something on a slide layer, perhaps you'll want to share that example with the community who can offer some creative ideas and help!
