Freeform "Pick One" won't submit after first attempt
May 18, 2015

Hi, I have built a freeform quiz in which the user may have unlimited attempts to choose the correct answer before moving on. I have a custom submit button that submits the interaction. I am also using "feedback by choice" so that there is a different remediation for each choice. If the user chooses an incorrect answer, they see the remediation, click a "continue" button that hides the layer and goes back to have them choose again. They are able to select another answer, but then are unable to submit again. I should note that it works fine when previewing the slide in Storyline, but does not work once published.
I am attaching the file for anyone who can take a look for me please (slide 1.16).

Hi Jacqui
without seeing your file, could it be the trigger order that is an issue? It is a huge file to download - could you just upload the slide with the quiquestion on it?
Here is the isolated slide
Hi Jacqui
this slide by itself is bigger than your whole file above. Did you create a new project file and import just that file in or do a save as and then strip everything else out - if you did the latter it retains a lot of junk and keeps the file size...bizarre I know.

I did the latter, here it is in a new file. Some of the states became misaligned when I coped it over, but we can ignore that for now.
Hi Jacqui
sometimes there is a corrupt file that can be fixed by importing your story file into a new file.
Ok..I published and it works as expected for me in Firefox, Chrome and IE. Which browser are you using?
I deleted the first file I uploaded because that file included the workaround I added, which reset the slide to the beginning after clicking "Continue" for each incorrect answer choice. The latest file I uploaded is still not working for me. I'm on a mac and tested in Chrome, Firefox and Safari. Please check the latest file I uploaded if you haven't.
Thanks
I checked the quiz.story file you uploaded 15 mins ago is that the one you mean?
Here is the zip published output file that appears to me to work as expected.
Hmm, ya that's definitely not working for me on Mac or PC...
The first "submit" works, but then none after that.
Any idea why that would be?
Hi Jacqui
will you be deploying through an LMS? If so I would test it in ScormCloud (an industry standard) and if it works in there it might be something in your browser settings.
Sorry I can't help anymore but I can't replicate your issue. Maybe you need to log a support call
I'll test on some other machines and use my workaround for now. Thanks for your help Wendy!
Hi, Jacqui - I see that Wendy is assisting you here! To reiterate, there are a few things you can try to address common issues. Please make sure you are working locally as described here, and you may want to try importing the file into a new file. If you are still having issues, you might want to try to repair Storyline.
In addition, it's a good idea to make sure that you are using the most recent update of SL2. Please see here for information on Update 5. Feel free to let us know if you are all set or if you still need additional assistance. :)
updating to the latest Storyline seemed to fix a bunch of issues. Thanks
Jacqui
Delighted to hear it, Jacqui! Thanks so much for the update. :)
