I have setup some buttons with custom states, however, every time I use them as part of a freeform interaction Storyline 2 changes the "selected" state by adding a glow and selecting a random color (usually a color that has been set in the design pane). I didn't have this issue in the previous version of Storyline so I was wondering, is there a setting where I can prevent Storyline 2 from doing this?
This is still happening to me, everytime I change my slide to convert to freeform (pick many), all of my selected states change and some of them disappear
I'm also having the issue that all my custom selected states are removed when converting to a freeform question. The suggestion of making a duplicate (before applying the freeform) works for slides containing only a few interactive objects. Doing the same thing for slides with 100+ interactive objects (custom checkboxes, where some are selected by default and some not), requires A LOT of work. Is there any news from the QA team on this?
UPDATE: I did some more testing and the selected states don't get removed when adding the freeform question, but after adding choices to the "Form View".
So far we've found a few workarounds that include:
Duplicating the question prior to converting
Using the "format painter" to allow for the quick application of the changes from one button to the next.
Changing the theme colors overall to make the glow less noticeable depending on the other colors you're using, but please note that this will impact all your colors and set up.
Seriously for five years this couldn't be disabled?
It's annoying as hell. Five years! Since five years you can make your brilliant, nice looking questions (or smth), and then you got that default glow... WHY? Why you don't turn that off and let users decide what to do with their states? You can leave the function for shapes WITHOUT selected state, but why altering already made selected state?
Sounds like I'm not the only one who has published a 6-module learning path before noticing that most (but not all...heaven forbid they should look uniform!) the bloody quiz options are glowing and getting all distorted when users hover over them....

Hi, is there any update on this issue? Pulling my hair out with how much additional time it is taking me when changing quizzes etc. Thanks!
(I'm using Storyline 360 as well)
