I have tried every workaround for this but it does not work.
I need to ask a short survey question and associate it to a variable so that I can report it to the LMS.
I have followed all instructions online, but there seems to be a glitch with Storyline: When I add a Short Survey 'how many' question, it defaults to a 'TextEntry' variable and I am unable to change it to a numeric.
(hence when I want to assign it to an exisitng numeric variable - I can't)
Thanks for sharing the file here - and in testing it, it does only allow you to enter numeric characters, not any letters - but if you're having difficulty with it reporting correctly you may wan to use this simple workaround to ensure it's a numeric entry:
Create a numeric variable.
Create your numeric quiz slide.
Close the slide if it's open.
Open the Manage Project Variables popup and delete the variable the numeric quiz is using. It will warn you that it is in use, click "Yes."
Open the numeric quiz slide (you can't do it from outside the slide for some reason).
Now in the Triggers windows click the red "unassigned" under the Text Entry box and set it to the numeric variable you created in step 1.
Thanks Ashley. The problem was not that it would not let me only type numerics, but that the system saw it as a text field hence I could not assign numeric variables.
Your workaround worked like a charm though. Thanks for that.
