Help with Text/Essay Response

Mar 03, 2020

Hello!

Hoping for insight from the community on my first Storyline project! This module walks the learner through 'crafting a story' using text entries and variables to solicit responses.

The issue I am experiencing is that on the 'Craft Your Story' slides (there are three different slides as the learner has 3 different models to choose from), if the user selects 'Enter' on the keyboard to create a new line, the activity defaults to the next slide.

In reviewing articles from the community, it was suggested to change the 'text entry' to an 'essay' format to allow the 'Enter' key to change to a new line, but I am unsure how to provide multiple essay questions on the same page.

I've attached the file for review and would love any insight!

Hi Mary,

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your file! I found myself sometimes running into the issue of the Enter key jumping to the next slide when I tried to change the variable texts, and sometimes I was able to use the Enter key just fine to create additional lines.

From here, I'm going to enlist our Support Engineers' help, so we can best troubleshoot what's happening behind the scenes here. Once they test the file, they'll reach out and provide some guidance. I'll follow along to share any relevant insight here!
