How to change the name of a freeform interaction?

Sep 18, 2014

When I convert a slide to freeform interaction (pick one), the interaction is named "pick one". I can't find a way to change this name.

The reason to change the name: it end's up in the tincan.xml file. I would like to change the name to something more descriptive.

Ofcourse I can manually change the tincan.xml meta file after publish, but I prefer not to for obvious reasons.

Hi Emily,

No, I'm not referring to the slide title, but to the interaction on the slide. See the attached screenshot.

The interaction "Pick One 1" has a name: "Pick One". This name will end up in tincan.xml. I would like to change this value to something more useful like the question text.

In tincan.xml this would be something like the bold marked fragment below. Using Tincan, only the activity ID is reported to the LRS, and we need to use tincan.xml to get proper values.

(edited: seems I can't copy xml in here :(
