Does anyone know if the value of a variable is saved when a user closes a story file and resumes later?
Can anyone suggest a way to duplicate a dropdown select list of countries (I can create pseudo dropdown lists already, but I'd like a neat way of getting people to identify exactly where they are from in the world).
What exactly constitutes a 'session'? If a user opens the file on a PC closes it, and re-opens sometime later on the same PC, in the same browser, can I assume the variables will persist?
I'm trying to do something where I send users to a different pre- and post-survey depending on their location and role. If they are in Canada, I want to capture their province, if outside Canada I want their country. I could ask the relevant questions in the surveys, but would need to repeat the questions in both surveys. If I capture the values in Storyline I can pass them through to the survey via the URL. It'll be neat if it works...

Hi Andrew -
Yes, Storyline's variables are persistent across sessions as long as you've enabled the Resume feature.
Phil Mayor shared a good example of drop down menus along with a video tutorial: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/need-dropdown-functionality-in-storyline#reply-51597
Thanks David.

I suppose this depends if they are on an LMS or on web based course, and how you set up the resume function.
With resume set to always or ask on an LMS they will be persistent across all browsers, on the web it will be browser and machine specific.
