Problem with showing results multiple choice question on other slides.
Oct 04, 2019
Hello,
I have a problem with showing the results of a multiple choice question on other slides in Storyline 2.
I made an assignment where the user has to fill in a form. Per slide the user has to fill in one answer, sometimes an essay question and sometimes a multiple choice question. I know how to show the answers of the essay questions on the other slides, but I have some difficulties with the multiple choice question.
So far I have managed to show the answer options of the multiple choice question on the next slide and it is possible to show which answer is given. But the problem is that when the user changes his choice (see attachment slide 1.9 01-06), both answers light up on the next slide (see attachement slide 1.10 01-07) instead of his last choice. How can I fix that?
My second question is how can I make a selected/filled in radio button? I know it is possible with a selected state, but I don't want the user can change his answer on the slides (except for the slide where he can fill in the multiple choice question).
I hope I have clearly described both problems. Is there someone who can help me with this?
Thank you!

So first off you are better off to use a true/false variable for the radio buttons. This way you can tell the trigger to say change the state of button 1 to selected if variable is true and then change the state of button 1 to normal if variable is false.
As for not selecting a button on the second page, just put an invisible box over top of them and then the user won't be able to select anything.
I would also save this information on submit rather than the button that way you know you have the final choice
Thanx Randy for your help. Most important, it seems to work with the use of a true/false variable!
Unfortunately the use of an invisble box on top of the answer options on the second page doens't work. I'm still able to change the answer options on the second page.
The box should have 100% transparency rather than no fill or it will allow clicking below, i normally use a hotspot and remove the hand and trigger as it is always visible on the slide in editing but the user cannot see it.
I tried your solution, but it had no effect on the problem. But I have know found the solution, so it is no longer necessary. Nevertheless, thanks for your help!
Yes that is the solution! Thank you Phil!
