Am noticing on a slide with a text entry field, it's allowing the Enter button keypress to bypass the text entry and move to the results screen. I checked the trigger state and it's set to be based on the user clicks the Submit button. I need to ensure the user's can't bypass the text entry Submit by pressing Enter. Any suggestions?
Can you tell me which graded or survey question type you're using? Are you using Fill in the Blank, Short Answer, or Essay? Alternatively, are you using a Freeform Text Entry question?
I originally had imported a single-screen quizmaker quiz with short-answer survey question. Then removed that and added a Survey>Short Answer slide in SL via Insert Slide>Quizzing. I have done some edits on the slide after inserting it. The Submit interaction action is set to occur when user clicks the submit button.
Instead of using a Survey > Short Answer, use a Survey > Essay.
The Short Answer is a survey question that allows the user to enter a short, freeform response. User responses can be up to 256 characters long & it's not intended to be used for paragraphs. Thus, the Enter button submits the answer.
The Essay is a survey question that allows the user to enter a long, freeform response. Thus, the enter button returns to the next line.
Anyone know of a work-around allowing for more than one text-entry essay field per slide? I had a number of text fields overlaying a model and experienced the same enter/submit issue. I'd like to keep all the text fields on a single slide, if possible.

Hi Darrin and welcome to Heroes,

Hi Darrin,
to prevent the problem you need to set a trigger on TextEntry to show a layer to indicate that a text should be inserted.
Show layer NameLayer
When the user presses ENTER key
If Variable is equal to (blank)
In this way can't proceed until they have entered the text.

That works. Good deal. Thanks for the quick response!
Hi all,
Anyone know of a work-around allowing for more than one text-entry essay field per slide? I had a number of text fields overlaying a model and experienced the same enter/submit issue. I'd like to keep all the text fields on a single slide, if possible.
Any help would be much appreciated.
