resume to initial state not working on quiz

Hi All,

I have some quiz questions where I set them to "resume to initial state" because I want the user to go back to the slide and see if before they changed it at all. What is happening is that if I click somewhere else on the menu and then click back on the quiz slide, it is going back to "saved state" even though I set it for "reset to initial state." Thoughts? Ideas?

    Welcome to E-Learning Heroes, April! ⭐️

    We'd be happy to help determine why the Reset to initial state setting isn't working as expected on your quiz slides.

    Any chance you could share your file in this discussion so we can see what you have in your current setup and offer suggestions? You can also share it privately here if you prefer!

    Hi, April.

    Thank you for sharing your .story file!

    A variable works through the entire project, so if it's set on one slide, that value will stay until another trigger changes it. In your scenario, you have triggers that:

    • Set TextEntry equal to the typed value when Text Entry loses focus 

    As soon as the user clicks anywhere on the course, that value will be set to the variable, which is why when they move to another slide and back, the entered text remains.

    A possible solution is to create a clear button on your quiz slides:

    • Set textEntry equal to value (blank) when the user clicks Clear_button

    Let me know if this helps!
