How to return to the saved state and ignore triggers

Dear Articulate Community:

I am trying to do the following:

  1. Users access a slide with text entry
  2. The first time they access, the next button is disabled until textentry has been completed
  3. Once the text entry is enabled
  4. Once the slide is revisted, the user can see what she has written
  5. The user does not need to write again to have the next button enabled

I have been able to achieve the first 4 points. I am stuck with the behavioiur 5, I mean, when the user revisits the slide, she can see what is written but he can click on "next" without having to write.

I attach the slide. It is in Spanish but the triggers are in English

I would appreciate if someonce could give me a hint on how to solve this.

Regards

Manuel

Hi:

I have seen this option: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/enabling-next-button-upon-revisiting-a-slide but the problem that I come accross is what value I can give to the condition if it is a "text entry" that the learner can fill with anything.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Hello Manuel,

I see that you were able to reach out to the support team as well and Eloisa was able to assist :)

For anyone following along, here's what helped:

On your slide, you have the trigger to change the state of the Next button to Disabled when the timeline starts. When the user revisits the slide, the timeline starts, hence, the Next button is set to Disabled.
I added a condition on this trigger to check TextEntry2 is not blank. Only then that the Next button is Disabled.
