Mutiple fill in the blanks on one slide?

Multiple*

Hi Amanda, 

Are you asking about evaluating multiple fill-in-the-blanks on the same slide? By default, Storyline doesn't support evaluating more than one data entry field on a slide. However, you may be able to evaluate multiple fields on the same slide using the method described in this article.

Hi, 

I'm really new to Articulate products and trialling the software for potential purchase. Multiple Fill in the blank is one activity I'm trying to make as it occurs a lot in my field. I followed the screenr, which is awesome, but every time I add a text entry, in this case named derrick, in the panel on the right a trigger is created which states " set text entry 3 equal to the typed value When the control loses focus". This trigger is automatically created for each new text entry. On the screenr this doesnt appear to be the case. 

I can't delete this trigger, and consequently when I add the triggers for correct and incorrect buttons as per the screenr, then preview the activity I get a message saying "Invalid answer. you must complete the question before submitting"

As I said I'm really knew to this and guess there is something really simple that I'm not doing. 

Any help appreciated

Steve

Apologies! It's always nice when you fix your own problems, and potentially waste peoples time, sorry. 

It appears that I had the order of the Player triggers incorrect, they must not have been above the Submit Interaction trigger. 

I got it working just like screenr, of course!

I can see how important the order of triggers is to actions in a story, and hope if I see this invalid answer message again I'll remember why. 

Lots to Learn Steve

Right on, Steve! Glad you got it resolved, and thanks for sharing how you got there. Just for future reference, maybe this quick KB on the order in which triggers are fired in Storyline will come in handy. Good luck with the project

Thanks Peter, 

I realise that one problem I'm having is knowing which text entry is which. I can rename the text entries, as below "rotates" and "derrick", but the entries to the right both say "Text Entry" and I'm having difficulty differentiating which entry is which, especially if I have multiple entries on a slide. They all appear to say Text Entry only.  I'm guessing its simple, but I don't seem to be able to rename "Text Entry" to "rotates" and "derrick" to help me be clear. Any assistance appreciated. 

Hey Steve

So, have you tried typing into your text entry boxes yet? The text entry objects on your timeline should change to whatever you have typed in your text entry boxes. Is that not happening for you?

If I type in them, they appear on my slide. What am I missing?

Peter, I think I should play around a little further and I'll get back to you. I don't need to waste your time when its something simple. 

Your help is greatly appreciated. 

Hey Steve,

Sorry for the confusion. Maybe I'm the one missing something. Here's a quick screengrab of what I'm seeing:

Is that what you're trying to accomplish?
