Is there a better way to detect if a drag drop activity has not been answered.

Hi Johny,

Thanks for reaching out here - although I'm not sure I'm clear on the issue you're running into. A quiz question such as a drag and drop is considered not answered if the user hasn't included any items in the drop targets - so if they dragged it but dropped it somewhere else, or let it return to the starting point it would be considered an invalid answer. As far as changing the states and their color, Storyline does a good job determining those states based on the definitions here and you'l want to ensure that you haven't selected the option to disable the state until submitted so that you could see them prior to the user submitting the interaction. 

hi Ashley,

thanks for the reply.

is there a way to detect if they are back at the starting position.. so that i may change the state back to normal?

i need that, if all the draggable objects are in their original position on submit, the question be considered as not answered .. rather than calling it a wrong attempt.

Hi Johny,

I can't think of a set up that would detect that they've returned to their starting position - as there isn't a trigger for that, and it's based on the automatic behavior of the "snap" or the user dragging it back to that location. 

Perhaps there are folks in the community that have done something similar and would be able to weigh in here.

Thanks Ashley , 

also I'll try experimenting further , to see if we can get this done, 

Would love to see what examples or ideas you come up with!
