I know that Storyline is designed to have only one question per slide, however, I would like to know if anyone has found a workaround to this. Specifically, my question has three answers, and I would like the user to type all three answers (in any order) in order to pass correctly. Any guidance or thoughts would be appreciated!
add 2 buttons offstage (correct and incorrect) and select correct button in the form view as the right answer.
set up your 3 TE boxes which will be variables and use triggers to set the correct or incorrect button to selected when the user clicks submit based on the TE entries.
if that doesn’t make sense let me know and I’ll do a sample file for you
Thanks, Wendy! Yes that makes complete sense to me. Have you been able to
account for spelling variances with that strategy? If so, how were you
able to do it?
If you’re allowing variations you may need to add in a couple more variables to validate each TE variable. So in addition to having a text variable for each TE you would have a T/F variable (default false) for TE1, TE2, TE3 and you would use these T/F variables on the triggers to select Correct or Incorrect buttons.
Eg. Adjust variable TE1 to True on condition that first TE = dog OR horse OR cat
Repeat for TE2 and TE3 for the entries you want to validate.
Then your triggers would be:
1. Change state of Correct button to selected when user clicks Submit on condition that TE1=True And TE2=True AND TE3=True
2. change state of Incorrect button to selected on condition Correct button is not equal to selected.
3. Submit interaction
hope that makes sense if not let me know and we can do a rough sample file or if you have one started upload it and we can work on that.
I realized that I also needed to grade the question, so I built my version from the gradable True/False built-in question template. I also added functionality so that the user can't use the same answer all three times.
The only thing I can't figure out is how to force the user to fill in all three text fields before submitting their answer. Right now, as soon as they click "Submit" they are given the incorrect feedback layer...

The Freeform Questions can also have points associated and be graded.
See this Peek video - will something like this work for you. It's a popup hint and I used a wording message to close it but you could use a X in the top of the caption...not sure of your audience.

Hi Richard
use a Pick One freeform slide
add 2 buttons offstage (correct and incorrect) and select correct button in the form view as the right answer.
set up your 3 TE boxes which will be variables and use triggers to set the correct or incorrect button to selected when the user clicks submit based on the TE entries.

I see what you mean. I'm going to take a crack at this tomorrow and let
you know if I run into any issues. Thanks again!
No worries - if I get a chance today I’ll do a quick sample
Update: Sample attached
Thanks, that file was extremely helpful!
