"Reset to initial state" apparently not working
Nov 21, 2014
I have a response slide on which learners need to drag and drop numbers to match categories. Learners have three opportunities to pass the quiz.
The first time learners access the slide in question, the responses are randomized. The second and third times, the responses are accurately lined up with the categories.
This happens when the slide properties set up with either "reset to initial state" or "Automatically decide". I checked this by completing the quiz using the "Preview" feature and by publishing it.
What might be causing this slide to not randomize the second and third times through?
I've attached a screenshot. The items on the right are the pieces that should be appearing in a random order.

Hello Diane!
First, please make sure that you are working locally as described here.
Also, please make sure that the "reset Attempts" trigger on the retry button is above the "jump to slide" trigger.
you could always share your file here for us to look at.
I tried working locally – same issue.
The reset button is on the results slide. The “jump to” slide is at the end.
I’ve attached a file with the slide having issues (slide 2) along with the results slide.

Did you check to make sure that you the "Reset results Slide" trigger linked to that reset button?
Hello Diane!
Could you attach the .story file? With the published output we cannot see the file itself to look at the triggers.
Opps. Attached now.
Yes - here's a screenshot of the triggers for the Retry Test button.
Hello Diane!
Thank you for sharing the file. I was able to recreate the issue and see that this has been reported to our QA team on other types of questions. I have added this information, and will share any updates as we get them.
One workaround would be to close out the course before retaking the exam, and resuming where you left off. This does shuffle the answers for 2/3 attempt.
