Resetting a variable for testing purposes
Dec 21, 2015
Hi! This may be a very silly question but I am fairly new to development and like to test my courses with the Preview function. I have created a quiz to limit retries to 2 attempts with a variable, therefore, when I test the variable count is not resetting. I don't think I want to add a reset variable because we are forcing the LMS to block re-entry and request approval/notification after 2 failed attempts of the quiz. I may be totally off here so please feel free to shoot holes in my thought process, but I would really like to reset the quiz retry variable after I test it in Preview mode. Help? Please and thank you!!

Relax, preview doesn't pass anything along. Only after you publish it and upload it to the final environment will it start passing information back and forth.
Thank you Walt! But I would like to reset the variable to be able to test it again...
Every time you start from preview, all variables are set to their default value.
Click on this guy,
and you can edit the variables and set their default values.
P.S. cute kid!
I hate to admit i spent entirely too much time trying to figure that out today. Thank you so much for the help and the compliment!
I want to get the variables to change back and reset after the user completes clicking on all tabs. The Next button is enabled, however if the user decides to go back, the Next tab is disabled, (as it should be) and then the user must click all tabs, but in this instance the Next tab doesn't become enabled.
Here is one look
It is easier for someone to take a look and offer suggestions if you will attach your .story file.
Here is the issue.
Hi Helena,
I think Walt also answered you in this thread, so I just wanted to link the two in the event that anyone was looking for the solution, If you're still having difficulty please let us know.
That's is fine.
