Freeform drag and drop - invalid, you must complete the question first

Sep 17, 2017

Hello to you all,

I am very new to Articulate and am trying to do a freeform drag and drop question.  I can't work out why even if I drag and drop the items to their correct locations that I continue to get an 'invalid you must complete the question' response. Do I need to add further triggers?  I thought that by using the freeform question that it was completing that for me.  Any help would be appreciated. I have attached my file.

Hi Kirsty!  Thanks for including your .story file!

I noticed that you had triggers to change your drag items to the Hover state when the mouse hovers over them.  The built-in Hover state does all the work for you, so you don't even need those triggers!  Easy, right?  

The triggers were interfering with the interaction, so I deleted them.  It works great now!  Also, instead of your custom Blank state for the text box with instructions, you could just use the built-in Hidden state.  Another time saver!

Your modified file is attached...let me know if that works for you.
