No Shuffle Option for Matching Drag & Drop
Hello All,
I am working with Storyline 4:1311.1422 and I added a Quiz slide using Insert (tab) -> New Slide -> Quizzing -> Graded (tab) -> Matching Drag and Drop.
I noticed that when I click on the Edit Matching Drag and Drop button I have no option to shuffle the answers! I filled everything in and saved it and sure enough there is no option to shuffle the answers. This means that the order I place the Drag Object and the Target is exactly how it shows up in the quiz, which defeats the purpose of using a drag and drop interaction.
I have followed the same steps from story view and from within a question bank, but I still find the Shuffle option greyed out.
Please let me know if you are experiencing the same thing.
Thanks!

Hi Pedro,
The shuffling of answers is something that isn't currently possible in Matching Drag and Drop questions. It would make a nice feature request though,
There is the option of using a Freeform Drag and Drop as mentioned here. That would allow you to shuffle answers.
Always Happy to Help,
Adrian
the matching drag and drop shuffles by default, it has to or it would show the correct answers every time .
Phil,
Thanks! That was my next question!
I thought I had lost my mind there for a sec.
Adrian: thanks to you as well. I will add it to my list of feature requests.
Same here, Pedro!
Same here. Very nasty bug
Hi Daniela,
It's still considered a feature request, so you'll want to share your thoughts with our product team here.
I am having the same problem - so this makes the drag and drop graded quiz option non-functional in this version of Articulate? Mine is not shuffling by default. All the user has to do is drag the response to the box directly across from it.
Hi Katelynn,
Welcome to E-Learning Heroes! The form-based drag and drop question should shuffle by default, otherwise, it would be as easy as dragging across as you mentioned!
Here's a screenshot of what I'm seeing when I preview my slide:
You won't see this on the slide as you're authoring, but if you preview your question, it should shuffle. Do you know what update of Storyline you're on? You can view this by going to the Help tab, and clicking About Storyline.
ridiculuous
Hi there, Mehdi!
Could you share more detail on what you're experiencing with the drag-and-drop interaction?
I'm happy to champion a feature idea or troubleshoot any odd behavior!
I am having a similar issue with sequence drag and drop. Shuffle answers is greyed out, so the question displays in the correct sequence.
Is there a way to shuffle sequence drag and drop questions? I don't see how this could be overlooked by developers, as not being able to shuffle the choices defeats the whole purpose of this type of question.
Use Storyline 360.
Hi S T,
Thanks for contacting us and sharing that you're running into a similar issue in Storyline 360.
As Ren mentioned above, the option is unavailable because this type of interaction will shuffle by default.
I've recorded a quick Peek 360 video to demonstrate what you will see when creating and previewing the content as well as my sample slide.
I've also published and uploaded it here.
