Hi, I have tried to do this before, but have been unsuccessful. My project team are still asking if I can make this happen. Basically, I need learners to type information into a text entry field which on completion would produce the next slide.
At the moment, I get them to click enter, or another button, but this is not how the system works, and it is confusing people. Is there anything else I can do to make this flow better?
I have added a demo file to show you what I need to do. Basically I need slide 2 to show when the learner has typed Para into the text entry field on slide 1.
Thanks for reaching out! The value of the text-entry won't actually be set until the text-entry box loses focus, meaning there's not a way to type a value and have a trigger to jump to the next slide until the Enter or other button is clicked.
My teammate Ashley has an excellent explainer video on how the text entry works:
Thank you for this, I have had a look at this video a few times and I don't think it is going to work for my scenarios as they are characters that the user might type in upper or lower case, so I can't see how we could set the variable value. I think trigger actions have changed since that video as well, but the principle makes sense.
No worries, thank you for your help, kind regards, Linda

Take a look and see if her simple example helps your scenario out!
