I’m having some issues with numeric entries in Storyline 360. In the attached file slide 1 shows the "0" and slide 2 which has the same numeric entry type shows blank. I've been having a hard time trying to figure out what happened and why they are different on each slide. I have used the community (such as this discussion link (https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/how-to-remove-an-initial-value-0-from-a-numeric-entry-field?page=2#reply-518488) to find a solution that works, such as the javascript examples, but that doesn’t appear to work for me as I receive the NaN message in the numeric entry box on slide 1 instead.
I downloaded your file and played around. No explanation as to why, but when I went into the variable definition and edited the variable and re-saved, it fixed the problem. That is 1) go into the variable list 2) double-click SA16 3) click OK 4) do the same for the others that aren't working 5) click OK to save. As I say, no idea why, but I've attached an updated .story. Hope it works back at your end.
Thanks Louise, that didn't seem to fix it on my end. I followed your steps and even tried to import your sample, but the numbers still show on 1 of the 2 slides. Thank you for trying.
Very strange. Double checked again starting with your original file and same result. Perhaps Articulate staff will be able to suggest something. I would try uninstalling and re-installing Storyline.
I'm seeing the same thing that Louise saw. By opening each of the variables on slide 1.2 and clicking "OK," the correct value of "0" displayed when I previewed the slide.
I'd agree that a simple repair would be a great first step. Give that a try, and let us know if you see an improvement!

Thanks all! That did seems to help correct it and put "0" in on both slides. Thank you!!!
