I was told the random number variable worked for both Storyline 3 and 360. However, my version of Storyline 3 does not have the option in the default value drop down.
Is there any plan to give this capability to Storyline 3?
Great question, Jeffrey! The random number variable feature is exclusive to Storyline 360.
Storyline 3 users can open Storyline 360 project files that have random number variables, and those variables will work in Storyline 3. However, you can’t edit existing random number variables or create new ones in Storyline 3.
For example, a trigger that adjusts the value of a random number variable will work in Storyline 3, but the range will be grayed-out (as shown below) since it can’t be edited in Storyline 3.
The new feature of Random Number variables is still only exclusive to Storyline 360, and not slated for inclusion in Storyline 3. We have added new features in the past, but if you take a look at the version history, Storyline 3 mostly contains bug fixes and enhancements to current features.
Since Storyline 360 is part of Articulate 360, which is an annual subscription service, it’ll provide you with continuous feature updates to Storyline (unlike Storyline 3).

Sorry for resurrecting an old thread here, but do you guys anticipate adding this as a native feature for those of us who are stuck using Storyline 3?
