I am a new Storyline user and I must admit so far I'm loving it. I have already built a course, with question in between sections. For one particular question (matching drop down), I was trying to have six statements in the left hand column and they would correspond to the drop down menu items which would have 3 choices. Is this even possible? I don't see this is available when I try to insert a quiz question. All I can see that it must be matching pairs, which means there should be 6 items in the drop down menu as well. Is there a way to get around this?
Charles, I know it's been awhile since you created this Quiz question, but could you tell me where the Answers are. I see all the variables but unable to reverse engineer it to change the answers/distractors. I will say that I had to convert it when importing it into Storyline 360 but it still works fine. Best Regards!
I created a multiple drop-down based on the file Chad Cardwell posted. But I would like to know if there is a way for the learner to only need to answer half the options? i.e. pick any two they want to answer and disregard the rest.
Wow, what an amazing community! I was searching for ways to create drop down questions and came across this thread! I love how someone posts a design and then other people build on that creation to further customize. So helpful! Now I have several ideas to work with! :) Thanks!
To piggy-back on Chad's solution, I did a couple things differently. First, I edited the tab order to make it more keyboard navigable for users with disabilities. I've been developing for government agencies for 20 years and some agencies can be very particular about meeting Section 508 requirements (as they should). Secondly, I added icons to indicate if the choice was correct or incorrect, and deleted the submit buttons altogether. I also removed the remnants of Christine's code in the sample.
I just had the same problem. I am happy that I found all this help here. Sadly I realised that the answers can only be send in, if these are correct. I think that this is not the right way to do a test. Is there a way to also check wrong answers? And to get only points when the answers are correct?

I believe the answers are the default value of the variables. Try editing a variable and changing the default value to see if that is what you wanted.
I love looking at stuff like this to see some of the creative things that can be done, especially involving variables.
Hi Kevin, the answers are under the "States" of the dropdown box (on the base layer); choice1, choice2, choice3. Took me ages to find too!
Hi Christine,
I love this drop down option and I am trying to adapt it to my needs.
I can not figure out how to tell the program which answer is correct. How do you tell it whether Hotspot 1, 2, or 3 is correct?
I hope this makes sense! If not, let me know.
Thanks
Robin
Hey Robin,
That one is a bit tricky to figure out.
The 'selected' state is the 'correct' state, so you can see in each of the drop downs, the correct answer is the 'Selected' state:

Hallo everybody,
I just had the same problem. I am happy that I found all this help here. Sadly I realised that the answers can only be send in, if these are correct. I think that this is not the right way to do a test. Is there a way to also check wrong answers? And to get only points when the answers are correct?
