This article explains how the enter key behaves in a text entry question slide and offers suggestions on how to modify it.
Do you need to capture the data that the learner types in the text entry box? If you can tell us a bit more about how you want the learner to interact with this slide, hopefully the community can share some ideas with you!
We have 2 slides, both free form question slides where the user needs to enter a postcode / phone number, then click a button, which is covered by a hotspot. The user will see a try again layer if the postcode / phone number is incorrect or will move straight to the next slide if it is correct after clicking the hotspot. So we are trying to stop the interaction from submitting when hitting enter and only submitting when clicking the hotspot.
I can see you have replied via email which unfortunately means no attachments display. Also all your email signature detail is displayed in the forum which you can edit to remove if don't want it shown publically. You'll need to select 'View' from your email to come into the forum and post your file using the grey 'add attachment' button at the bottom of the post.
the freeform text entry quiz type won't work but see if the attached works for you. I've created a new scene and used a freeform pick one with offstage buttons to drive the correct answer - there is no 'enter' key issue involved.

Hi Alyssa

Any suggestions you can give will be appreciated.

Hi Chris
can you share the slide - might make it easier for someone to help you if they can work with your setup.
Hi Wendy
I am unable to send the specific slides due to company information stored,
however I have replicated both interactions on the attached Storyline
file.
1.1. and 2.1 are the slides in question.
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated
Many thanks
Chris

Hope this helps or gives you an idea.
