Hello, I have rebuilt a particular basic multiple select free form question slide multiple times and cannot figure out why it will not recognize the correct answers based on settings in the form window. I have two other free form pick many slides that work but this particular style just will not. I have had to reset the states as well because they keep changing the Selected formatting style after I update them. Any others having this issue? Suggestions? I attached a template with only multiple select knowledge checks and the first is the problem.
there was a button set on the options which means only one can be selected at anytime - that's why it kept returning the incorrect layer. I've changed that to None and now it works as expected and returns the correct layer.
Wendy, thank you so much! I'm very new to SL (as you can tell) and there's a lot of things to navigate to create a template and complete that first course for the first time. Really appreciate you taking the time to help. :-)
Thanks, Wendy! This was baffling me too! I have been a Storyline user for many years and setup many "Pick Many" freeform interactions on projects. Is this button set something new? I have never had to do this before.
Button sets enable you to create interactions in which a learner can select just one object at a time out of a group of objects. This is cool because it allows you to make just about any objects behave like radio buttons.
Do you have an issue with one of your Pick One's you need help with?
I have used the button sets before, but the behavior in this project is that I selected a Pick Many slide, added the objects and set the selections for the correct answers and for some reason, Storyline set a "Pick One" Button set on the Pick Many slide.
Based upon the info in this thread, I was able to figure it out, but this has never happened before.

Hi Kris

No worries Kris - glad I could help. Here is a KB article about button sets so you can understand what happens when one is created.
Don't hesitate to shout out if you need more help.
Thanks again Wendy! So, when you convert a slide to a Free form, does Storyline automatically set the objects to buttons with button sets?
Should only do that for a pick one type not a pick many type

No Brandon
Button sets have been around since SL1
