Did you guys ever resolve this issue? I am in exactly the same situation, my LMS (moodle) throws out all sort of random Question ID in the interactions report and I was hoping to find a way to name it something more sensible.
Leslie - those images show the cmi.interactions.n.id - I presume there's a way in Articulate to set those values manually?
John - the SCORM spec doesn't allow for the actual question to be passed from the SCORM package to the LMS - all we get is the "identifier" which you are seeing there and then information about the answer the learner gave. I'm pretty sure you can customize the identifier in Articulate but hopefully someone else here can give you guidance on that.
I see that Jonathon already replied to your Support case, regarding our ability to assist you with the Articulate software and publishing as is. We can't offer advice for how to customize for a specific LMS, but there may be community members here who can assist you.
As I said to Jonathon, I believe this issue DOES fall within the Articulate Support scope as it is a setting which needs tweaking within the Storyline software or the published files, rather than on the LMS side. There is evidence that other people have achieved the results I am after by applying such tweaks within Storyline's publshed files (in the thread links above) however they do not seem to work with my projects.
Part of me thinks I am over complicating this - surely I am not the first person to publish a storyline project to moodle (two of the most popular platforms) and need to see a clear breakdown of students responses to each question?
So, perhaps I am asking two questions:
Technically, How do we change the Interaction ID's within Storyline so I can customise the Interaction Breakdown in Moodle OR is there an "easy to read" breakdown of how students answered each question?
Thanks to everyone who's got involved so far! Let's see if we can get the definitive answer to this basic requirement soon
We definitely have a number of Moodle users who you'll find here in the community. In terms of the information that Moodle receives from Storyline to help you review quiz answers, those items are indicated here.
The user's you're referring to who have made tweaks to the published output of Storyline are implementing methods that are not supported by Articulate, as we do not support modifying the published output, although the last link you shared references Presenter instead of Storyline, which could also be why these methods are not working for you. Here is a thread where a community member offers code specific to Storyline.
If there is a feature that you would like to see in future versions of Storyline, you're welcome and encouraged to share those thoughts with our team here.
I think I have been a bit of a dope!! I tried publishing my quiz in SCORM2004 today, didnt change any other files or settings and guess what - it blooming worked! Lone behold, there in my moodle "track details" report is the question text, just as its displayed in SL.
I could have sworn I tried this yesterday and it didnt work, but there we go.
If you are looking to get a question by question breakdown from Moodle using SL, publish in SCORM2004.
I am now in the process of trying to hack moodle to bits to display the information in a bit of a better report, check out my thread there to keep up to date or contirbute:

Hi Rick:
Publish your course as SCORM1.2 and this will change the cmi data.
Hope this helps.
Best Regards,
Dennis Hall
Tried in Scorm 1.2 and made no difference! ;-(
Hi Rick:
What is your LMS?
I have no idea, but will find out.

Hi John! You may want to send them private messages as I'm not sure if they are subscribed or not
Cheers Leslie, will do! Unless you know the answer...

Hi Dan,
Thanks for your input - I've managed to track down this post:
http://community.articulate.com/forums/t/26443.aspx
But its a bit outside my skillset so I've asked my IT Gurus to try and figure it out.
If I get anywhere with it, I will report back
Any other ideas welcome in the mean time...
Thanks for the update John, and I'm glad you were able to find a thread to assist you!
My IT Guru's have come back to me - they have tried mutliple variances on the script shown in the thread above to no joy.
They also found a bit of script in this thread: http://archives.articulate.com/forums/articulate-quizmaker/19670-custom-interaction-ids-multiple-quiz-objectives.html but again had no joy.
I have raised a ticket with Articulate Support but I would like to open it up to the Articulate staff & experts here -
"Can Storyline override the cmi.interactions.n.id fields published to SCORM?"
