Help - Trigger based on selected states triggering even when not selected

Mar 26, 2024

I built an accessible drag-n-drop style activity for a client that is set up to show an incorrect layer based on "drag" items being selected; however, it's showing the incorrect layer even when none of the drag items are selected (except it works fine on the first item). This is a behavior my client doesn't want. I'm not seeing any cause or fix for this behavior and was hoping someone could help me out.

Here's the review link: https://360.articulate.com/review/content/aad335c8-f021-4890-8c6b-fb4890bc067a/review

The file is attached.

Thanks!

Hi Carla, you could set the drop targets to "Disabled" state until a drag element has been selected.

IMO, from an accessibility perspective, I like how it works after the first drag, i.e. not having to select a drag element, as there is only ever one drag on the slide. It seems like an extra unnecessary step for assistive tech users.
